Okon: Mzansi's next starboy?
After breaking through in Gavin Hunt's side in the DStv Premiership this season as well as garnering the attention of Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos, it's safe to say that Ime Okon is flying high at the moment.
The 19-year-old is fresh out of high school and has already managed seven appearances in all competitions for Matsatsantsa following his promotion from the club's reserves.
The former Orlando Pirates academy star did parts of his schooling at the same Primary school as Burnley and Bafana Bafana star Lyle Foster, and with the talent he's shown on the pitch, there's hopes for Okon to blaze the same trail.

Judging by his posts on IG, the half Nigerian teenager already seems to have the 'look' of a baller.
From the way he styles himself to his photoshoots, where he worked with a local fashion brand, Ime seems to get the idea of honing his off-pitch persona that will undoubtedly attract some major brands to him in the future.
Okon was involved in an ultra-artistic editorial with Chaotic Magazine, which appears to be a creative venture run by kids around his age.
During his High School days, Ime modelled for a small local brand, Tall Boy Wear, proving to be a natural in front of the camera.
