Hard working Mabasa is rewarded for not being a selfish player - Orlando Pirates coach Mokwena

The young tactician is confident the former Bloemfontein Celtic striker has a bright future, but he must work harder

Ahead of their clash against Bidvest Wits on Saturday, Orlando Pirates caretaker coach, Rhulani Mokwena has expressed confidence in Tshegofatso Mabasa after the striker scored twice against Chippa United last weekend.

Mokwena is now hoping to secure his second successive Premier Soccer League (PSL) win when the Buccaneers take on a dangerous Wits side in Durban.

“The two goals are the reward he gets. You get rewarded when you are a striker who isn’t selfish, a striker who puts in a shift, creates space and defends for the team, eventually when the ball is in the box you are rewarded - he knows that,” Mokwena told Independent Media .
