The Carling Knockout match between Stellenbosch FC and Carling Knockout All-Star XI took place at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, South Africa on January 6, 2024. The Carling All-Star XI, which included Jabulani Mokone, emerged victorious with a 2-1 win. Since then, Mokone has been consistently training with the Pirates senior team, foregoing his return to the DDC side. A source revealed that the technical team is pleased with Mokone’s performance and wants to keep him with the team until the end of the season.
This decision has been beneficial for the senior team, however, it has been noted that the DDC side has felt his absence in some of their games. Despite this loss, it is seen as a positive development for the DDC to promote young players to the senior team. The DDC coach recommended Mokone to train with the senior team, and due to his impressive performance, he has been promoted. The source believes that Mokone is ready for top-flight football and will provide stiff competition for the senior players.
