There has been high expectations on young, talented Orlando Pirates midfielder Relebohile Mofokeng since he had a trial with English side Wolverhampton Wanderers recently.
Despite his good start to life in the PSL, former Orlando Pirates midfielder Dumisa Ngobe has advised Bucs to be patient with Mofokeng just like how Mamelodi Sundowns treated Percy Tau.

Talking to Soccer Laduma in a one-on-one interview, Ngobe stated that they should not play the young Mofokeng in each and every game but bring him in gradually.
"No question and no doubt Rele (Mofokeng) is a great prospect for now and for the future. But what I am saying is that the team has to be patient with him. Don't put him under pressure. Give him time to grow as a player as well as a person," Ngobe told the Siya crew.
"They should do what Sundowns did with Percy Tau and Sphelele Mkhulise. Look at how those players turned out. They were at one time or the other loaned out to gain experience but it doesn't mean they were not good players but the team was being patient with them and building them.
"Tau even went to England after that. Mkhulise is now a regular under coach Rulani Mokwena. You know why? Because they were patient with him and made sure they grow both as a player and as a person.
"Pirates should do that with Rele (Mofokeng). If they can do that they will see what a great player he will become. But at the end of the day it is how the technical team and the club look at it and how they want to use the player. But they have to be patient with him," Ngobe concluded.
