Cape Town – 25 June 2025
Orlando Pirates midfielder Relebohile Mofokeng made headlines today as he attended a session of the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) in Parliament, where President Cyril Ramaphosa was answering questions from members of Parliament.
The young football star was spotted in the visitors’ gallery, observing the proceedings alongside other guests. While Mofokeng did not participate in any formal parliamentary discussions, his presence drew attention and was acknowledged by various members of the chamber.
Mofokeng’s visit comes at a time when the 19-year-old is enjoying rising fame for his performances with the Buccaneers, having recently been linked with interest from international clubs. His appearance in Parliament was seen by many as a symbolic gesture, highlighting the importance of youth role models and sports figures in South Africa’s national discourse.
The session, which was open to public viewers, focused on issues ranging from economic development to youth empowerment—topics that resonate strongly with Mofokeng’s growing influence among young South Africans.
While the reason for his visit has not been officially disclosed, speculation suggests he may have been invited as a guest to witness the democratic process in action and possibly inspire more youth participation in civic matters.
