How Mofokeng Won A House From Irvin Khoza

According to Sechaba, the bet carried a significant financial risk for the young footballer.

If Pirates failed to win the league, Mofokeng would have to pay Khoza R200,000. However, victory would see the chairman buy him a house of his choice, IOL reveals.

Sechaba disclosed the arrangement during an interview on the second season of Giants, confirming that Khoza followed through on his promise after Pirates clinched the championship.

The agreement also reflected the close relationship between the two, with the club chairman reportedly developing a father-and-son bond with Mofokeng during his time at the Soweto giants.
