Tim Sukazi tips Tshepo Kakora as TS Galaxy’s next Bafana prospect

The former Orlando Pirates youth product joined The Rockets from Magesi FC ahead of the 2025/26 season but had to wait for his opportunity while the club resolved the sanction with the world governing body. 

Speaking to SABC Sport, Sukazi praised Kakora’s qualities and potential.

"Tshepo Kakora is crucial not for TS Galaxy. These are the type of players that should play for the national team. He's got energy second to none, he's got engine capacity – double turbo – box-to-box. He's got all the ingredients that you need at international level," Sukazi said

"He is not a walking player, he is a working player for sure. He covers a lot of distance and kilometres. His numbers are very high on our GPS, so for sure you need players like this at international level, not only at TS Galaxy."

Sukazi added that Kakora was simply on the list of several players that will make an impact at Galaxy, another one being teenager Siphamandla Ngwenya. 

Meanwhile, Sukazi got his wish of hosting another Nedbank Cup fixture at the Solomon Mahlangu Stadium with Galaxy facing Milford FC there in the semifinals. 

"I see us playing this tournament to completion at home – it's befitting. You would remember that in 2019, when we won it, we played all our matches away from home, so now it's the return. 

"Our people have to see their club. We won the cup but we never played at home, they had never seen it with their eyes. So now is the complete converse of what happened in 2019, and we accept it like that."
