The Red Castle's 1-0 victory over FUS Rabat has alleviated some of the pressure on the South African tactician.
The win took them within four points off league leaders RS Berkane, and Mokwena has Cassius Mailula to thank for that.
The ex-Mamelodi Sundowns forward arrived to Casablanca on loan from MLS franchise Toronto FC and finally managed to open his account for the record Moroccan champions this past weekend.
While the South African international looks to be acclimating to life in north Africa, Pedrinho and Arthur Wenderroscky are struggling.
Mokwena reportedly travelled with Wydad president Hicham Ait Menna to Brazil to secure both their signatures, but it seems as though the acquisitions of the youngsters are yet to bare fruit.
Pedrinho has only managed to bag one assist for Wydad, while Wenderroscky has one goal and two assists to his name since joining the three-time African champions.
Both started from the bench against FUS and according to Kooora, this was a consequence of the Johannesburg native facing pressure from the club due to their lack of output.

The same report claims that their positions are now under threat should they fail to turn their form around, but with the former Orlando Pirates boss finding success without the Brazilians, it may be a tall order to them to regain their place in the starting XI.
