The story
Buccaneers prospect Mbekezeli Mbokazi is proving to be quite the character both on and off the pitch, capturing attention not just with his football skills but also with his vibrant personality.
Off the field, he's been making waves on TikTok, where videos of him having fun have quickly gone viral.
Whether he's dancing in the locker room, sharing behind-the-scenes moments with teammates, or participating in trending challenges, Mbokazi's charisma shines through, making him a fan favourite beyond his consistent performances in the heart of Pirates’ defence.
It's been a memorable week for the teenage sensation, who received the Nedbank Cup's Most Promising Player of the Tournament accolade at Tuesday's PSL Awards and on Wednesday, he was announced as co-Vice Captain of the Buccaneers alongside Thapelo Xoki.
At just 19 years old, Mbokazi, who comes from Hluhluwe in the northern part of KwaZulu-Natal, has quickly established himself as one of the top defenders in the PSL, less than a year after making his senior debut.
Known affectionately as "TLB" in local football circles, Mbokazi has made 19 appearances in the top flight since his professional debut last December.
In June, he also earned his first caps for Bafana Bafana in their friendlies against Mozambique and Tanzania.
