Orlando Pirates striker Tshegofatso Mabasa is on the verge of breaking the club's all-time goal scoring record held by Benedict 'Tso' Vilakazi. With his impressive form this season, Mabasa is poised to make history.
There is intense competition for the title of top goal scorer in this season's Betway Premiership. Tshegofatso Mabasa , after a slow start with Orlando Pirates, has emerged as a prolific striker, amassing 40 goals in 112 appearances. His current goal count places him alongside Lesley Manyathela and Phumlani Mkhize in the club's history. Mabasa is now aiming for Benedict 'Tso' Vilakazi's impressive record of 52 goals.
With Pirates still contending on multiple fronts, the 28-year-old striker has a realistic chance of breaking that record this season. Loan spells at Royal AM, Sekhukhune, and Swallows have contributed to his development as a goal scorer.Mabasa, the current Betway Premiership Golden Boot holder, has his sights set on Vilakazi's goal tally and is determined to make his mark in the record books. He acknowledges the encouragement from his teammates, who have motivated him to pursue this achievement and remain focused. Mabasa sees this as an opportunity to cement his legacy as one of the best strikers the country has ever seen, driven by the unwavering support of his team. The upcoming match against Mamelodi Sundowns, the reigning champions, presents a significant challenge for Pirates. The Buccaneers secured a 2-1 victory against Sekhukhune with goals from Deon Hotto and Makhehlene Makhaula. Sundowns, on the other hand, achieved a comfortable 3-0 win against SuperSport. This encounter is widely considered the most crucial game of the season so far. Pirates, trailing Sundowns by six points but with a game in hand, are eager to close the gap. If Mabasa surpasses Vilakazi's tally, his place among Pirates' legendary players will be further solidified.
