Cape Town City star Kamohelo Mokotjo praises Varsity Football’s role in developing talent

Cape Town City midfielder Kamohelo Mokotjo has praised Varsity Football's efforts to better the standard of football in South Africa and calls on more stakeholders to get involved with the competition and work towards football development in the country. 


Mokotjo, 33, believes with stronger support Varsity Football could do even more for South African youth development. 

 


"You know talent can be found in so many different ways in South Africa. When it comes to spotting that talent you need initiative" says Mokotjo. 

 

"So I think not only are companies like FNB doing a great job, but there should also be many other stakeholders that raise their hands to help. "We need people who will say, listen, we want to get involved. That will just grow football in the country." 

 

The Free State-born player has made over 20 caps for Bafana Bafana and has recently returned to SA after playing for clubs like FC Twente, Brentford and FC Cincinnati in the USA to name a few. He spent the last season playing for Sekhukhune United before joining Cape Town City.  

 

The midfield maestro knows first hand about the opportunities Varsity Football provides to those who come through it's ranks.

 

"My younger brother played for UFS a couple of seasons ago, I have watched him and know how good the tournament is," he said. 

 

"I think it's a very important and amazing initiative. And you see we have Heaven Sereetsi here with us [at Cape Town City FC] which shows the work that's been done."
