Mofokeng progressed through the Transnet School of Excellence, before a transfer arrangement between South African Premier Division sides Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates was met, with Mofokeng joining Orlando Pirates and teammate Siyabonga Mabena joining the Mamelodi Sundowns.
Mofokeng integrated well into the academy of Orlando Pirates, impressing with the reserve team in the DStv Diski Challenge, and being invited to train with the first team.
Having featured on the bench four times, he was given his first start for the club in a DStv Premiership game against Royal AM on 3 May 2023.
Following a mistake by Royal AM’s Mozambiquan player Domingues, Mofokeng’s shot deflected off Domingues into the back of the net.
However, the goal was given as an own-goal, as the initial shot was not on target. In only his second game for the club, he notched a goal and an assist in a 4–0 win against AmaZulu.
International career
Mofokeng represented South Africa at the 2022 COSAFA U-20 Cup, scoring twice in five appearances.
He received his first senior national team call-up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers to be played in June 2024 against Nigeria and Zimbambwe.
Mofokeng made his debut against the latter on 11 June 2024 at the Free State Stadium. He substituted Oswin Appollis in added time, as South Africa won 3–1.
Personal life
At the time of his move to the Orlando Pirates, he had been using his mother’s last name, Ratomo, as his parents were not yet married.
Three weeks after his registration with the club, he changed his last name legally to Mofokeng – the last name of his father, and former footballer, Sechaba Mofokeng – and this would be his official name ahead of the 2023–24 season. This name change was confirmed by the Orlando Pirates on 4 August 2023.
