Boasting electrifying speed and tricky left foot, Mokgosi Thabo otherwise known as “Bozati” is a Soweto born attacking midfielder. He joined FcMmabatho in early 2017 whilst they were still campaigning at the SAFA Emfuleni Local football association league. Prior to moving to Vanderbijlpark to further his studies, he played for Mswenk FC and Senawane Gunners FC respectively.
The 23-year-old said he saw the SAFA Sedibeng SAB League as an opportunity for him to improve. Coach (Tumelo Thebe) said it’s a chance for me to show what I have, to showcase my talent because I know I can be better.
This season feels like it will be a better one for me, especially after he put a Man-of-the Match performance against Luso Africa F.C, scoring the equalizer and assisting with another goal. “I know a lot of guys from FcMmabatho expect a lot from me this season and but I don’t want to put myself under pressure.
Thabo, who is nicknamed “Bozati” said that he expects FcMmabatho to compete for ABC Motsepe promotion this season. I know it’s a tough ask to the team-mates but it can be done. Last season, everyone is expected us to fight relegation as a new team in the league but we managed to survive the first season with ease and that is motivation enough that we can compete for the top 4 finish.
