Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou believes his versatile attacker Relebohile Mofokeng can’t be stopped when he plays at his full potential.

Mofokeng scored his first goal of the season on Saturday at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium to lift Orlando Pirates over Marumo Gallants in the Carling Knockout.

It was the second silverware for the Soweto giants this season, having beaten Stellenbosch a couple of months ago to win the MTN8.

Since his return from injury, Mofokeng has played five games across all competitions and managed to assist two goals, score one, and provide a couple of pre-assists. 

“The season before he played 40-45 matches, he is not a robot,” the former Morocco international defender told the media.

“I can understand that he was a bit tired; we gave him some rest, and he came back with very good fitness.

“You can see in the last three, four matches he was part of the success of the team, he did some fantastic assists,” Ouaddou added.

“You can see the difference between a fit Rele Mofokeng and a tired Rele Mofokeng. 

“Rele Mofokeng, even at 70% of his possibilities, he can help the team. I cannot imagine when he is 100%. If he is 100%, the President is someone who can make us win the title,” he added.
