Relebohile Mofokeng (néRatomo; born 23 October 2004) is a South African professionalfootballer who plays as anattacking midfielder orwinger forOrlando Pirates and theSouth Africa national team.[3][4]
Mofokeng progressed through the Transnet School of Excellence, before a transfer arrangement betweenSouth African Premier Division sidesMamelodi Sundowns andOrlando Pirates was met, with Mofokeng joining Orlando Pirates and teammateSiyabonga Mabena joining Mamelodi Sundowns.[5] Mofokeng integrated well into the academy of Orlando Pirates, impressing with the reserve team in the DStv Diski Challenge, and being invited to train with the first team.[6]
Having featured on the bench four times, he was given his first start for the club in a DStv Premiership game againstRoyal AM on 3 May 2023. Following a mistake by Royal AM's Mozambiquan playerDomingues, Mofokeng's shot deflected off Domingues into the back of the net. However, the goal was given as an own-goal, as the initial shot was not on target.[7] In only his second game for the club, he notched a goal and an assist in a 4–0 win againstAmaZulu.[8] In the2025 Carling Knockout Cup, he scored the winning goal in a 1–0 win against Marumo Gallants in extra time to hand the Buccaneers their second trophy of the season. According to Opta Jabu, Mofokeng is the youngest player in PSL history to score in all three domestic cup finals.[9]
Mofokeng represented South Africa at the2022 COSAFA U-20 Cup, scoring twice in five appearances.[7]
He received his first senior national team call-up for the2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers to be played in June 2024 againstNigeria andZimbabwe. Mofokeng made his debut against the latter on 11 June 2024 at theFree State Stadium. He substitutedOswin Appollis in added time, as South Africa won 3–1.[10] Mofokeng scored his first goal for South Africa against Lesotho in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[11]
On 1 December 2025, Mofokeng was called up to the South Africa squad for the2025 Africa Cup of Nations.[12]
At the time of his move to the Orlando Pirates, he was using his mother's last name, Ratomo, as his parents were not yet married.[13] Three weeks after his registration with the club, he changed his last name legally to Mofokeng - the last name of his father, and former footballer, Sechaba Mofokeng - and this would be his official name ahead of the 2023–24 season.[13] This name change was confirmed by the Orlando Pirates on 4 August 2023.[14]
