Orlando Pirates rising star Relebohile Mofokeng is making waves both on and off the field! The Bafana Bafana player has just announced a partnership with global cosmetics giant Garnier, following in the footsteps of teammate Teboho Mokoena.
Mofokeng's Fresh Face: A Winning Partnership
The 21-year-old is the new face of Garnier's 8-Hour Pimple Patch, showcasing the product's ability to keep his skin clear and fresh, even under the pressures of professional football. This collaboration highlights Mofokeng's growing influence beyond the sport, attracting attention from major lifestyle and grooming brands.
Despite recent injury setbacks, Mofokeng's personal brand continues to thrive. Earlier this year, he was the face of adidas' Bafana Bafana partnership reveal and continues his collaboration with Legend's Barber. This new deal with Garnier cements his image as one of South Africa's most marketable young athletes.
This partnership demonstrates Mofokeng's expanding appeal, proving that his off-field presence is just as strong as his potential on the pitch. He's not just a talented footballer; he's a brand!
Pirates' CAF Champions League Woes Continue
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates' struggles in the CAF Champions League continue. Despite reaching the semi-finals last season, they were recently eliminated in the preliminary rounds after a defeat to Saint Eloi Lupopo. This pattern of early exits seems to be recurring for the Buccaneers.

Is inexperience at the coaching level to blame for these upsets? Only time will tell if Pirates can overcome these continental challenges.
Key Takeaways:
