WHO WE ARE?

Founded by Orlando Pirates star Relebohile Mofokeng, our foundation is dedicated to uplifting the youth and communities of Sharpeville through sport, education, and opportunity

The Relebohile Mofokeng Foundation is a youth-centered, community-driven initiative founded by Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana star Relebohile Mofokeng.

Born and raised in Sharpeville, Vaal, Relebohile knows firsthand the challenges faced by young people in the township.

This foundation is his way of giving back — by opening doors for others, just as football opened doors for him.

Relebohile's Quote:

"This isn't my foundation — it's ours. I'm asking the Vaal to take ownership and run with me."

How It Began

Founded in 2025, the Relebohile Mofokeng Foundation started as a small initiative to provide football training for underserved youth in Sharpeville. Today, we’ve grown into a holistic program combining sports, education, and mentorship.
