With Relebohile Mofokeng likely to be this weekend's Soweto Derby key figure, there could be problems for the Kaizer Chiefs defence in trying to deal with the red-hot 20-year-old Orlando Pirates star, according to ex-Amakhosi man Junior Khanye.
Pirates will host Chiefs at a sold out FNB Stadium in their first Betway Premiership Soweto Derby fixture of the season this afternoon.

Possibly, Reeve Frosler is the player who is likely to be tasked with taking care of Mofokeng, to limit him from creating and scoring goals coming from the left wing, which is what the Sharpeville-born player has been doing frequently this season, but Khanye foresees a potential challenge.
"I am sure that Frosler is aware of the problem that is lying ahead of him. I think he is going to have a long day in trying to stop Relebohile Mofokeng. (Mofokeng is) one of the exciting players in South Africa at the moment who's got everybody longing to see him in action. The boy, as young as he is, is proving in each and every game that he is the best and I don't see that stopping on Saturday," said Khanye, speaking exclusively to the Siya crew.

Khanye has also spoken about the threat likely to be caused by Mohua Nkota on the other side of the field to Amakhosi defence.
"There is also Nkota on the other side who is equally good. He comes at you, and he's got speed. You face him and Mofokeng in a 3v2, you are out. The boy (Nkota) has got a very good technique, and he is simply the best. And ahead of them you have (Tshegofatso) Mabasa who is a master in terms of his positioning and on his movement off the ball, and I think Chiefs will struggle to contain these guys," concluded Khanye.
