House of Zwide actor Motlatsi Mafatshe showed off impressive soccer skills in a trending video. The former Isidingo star mesmerized opponents with his silky smooth skills and passes in the video posted on X (formerly known as Twitter). The trending clip was shared by football reporter Prince Sobayeni on his X page. Impressed by Motlatsi’s skills, the soccer scout captioned his post:
“Former Isidingo actor Motlatsi Mafatshe Molefe playing football. Imnandi ingwenya.”
Should Kaizer Chiefs Sign Motlatsi Mafatshe?
After watching the award-winning actor dribble past his opponents and create goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates, many agreed that Mafatshe would excel in the Betway Premiership. Most soccer fans agreed that the entertainer would do well at struggling soccer giants, Kaizer Chiefs. Amakhosi has been on a signing spree ahead of the start of the 2024/25 Betway Premiership. One of them @Niwdalg_ suggested: “Chiefs should sign him.”
Agreeing with him, @Aphile_Adonis_H said: “This guy would shine at Kaizer Chiefs.”
Mafatshe used to play for Shooting Stars before he swapped his soccer boots for the camera. Many agreed that Mafatshe and the likes of Dumi Mkokstad would’ve been successful soccer stars.
“Motlatsi, Dumi Mkokstad, and Jelly Chavani, they must stop whatever nonsense they are doing and come play professional football, they are very good,” said @Thabo_kganakga.
“I always say, football has rejected many good players. Many of them would have been far if they had money to pay for scouters,” wrote @MJMoalusii.
