Bafana Bafana’s new star Elias Mokwana has attracted interest overseas following his explosive performance for the national team.
The Sekhukhune United attacker scored his first goal for Bafana against Andorra in a friendly match last month. He continued his good run of form against Algeria a few days later assisting Iqraam Rayners.
Football agent Pontsho Maduma told KickOff that the Bafana star caught the eye of a few people last month.
“Look, we are looking overseas. There has been a couple of calls from overseas, but locally we haven’t heard from anyone. Nothing concrete really,” Madumo told the publication.
“We have not received offers, but it’s just enquiries from people we’re working with, enquiring about a player who is currently doing well.”
