Orlando Pirates young superstar Relebohile Mofokeng sends Mamelodi Sundowns star attacker Thembinkosi Lorch a late birthday gift.

Over the years, Mofokeng has stated that Lorch was his role model, and his favourite moment in football so far was sharing the pitch with him while Lorch was still at Pirates.
While Lorch has since moved to Sundowns, the duo remains close, as the 20-year-old sees Lorch as his mentor and has modelled his game around him.
On the 22nd of July, the Sundowns star celebrated his 32nd birthday, and despite sending him birthday wishes, Mofokeng went a step further a couple of weeks later.
Ahead of the 2025-2026 Betway Premiership opener, Lorch shared a video clip of himself unwrapping a gift that he received from the youngster.
Mofokeng gifted the former Pirates attacker his number 38 new Pirates home jersey.

Meanwhile, Lorch continues to train away from Sundowns’ squad, as he is not in the club’s plans for the season.
He is heavily linked with a move away from Chloorkop. His former side, Wydad Athletic Club, are among clubs interested in his services.
