Overview
- Marumo Gallants confirmed Mohafe’s appointment in late June through an official club statement and social posts and said management will back him during the transition.
- Mohafe leaves Polokwane City, where he guided the team to consecutive top-eight finishes and posted a reported 9-13-8 record in the most recent 30-game season.
- The new coach inherits a squad that finished 14th with 25 points last season after winning four, drawing 13 and losing 13 matches, so his immediate task is to improve consistency and avoid another relegation fight.
- Mohafe replaces Jamil Benouahi, whose tenure lasted only one match — a 3-0 loss to Magesi FC — underlining the rapid managerial turnover the club moved to end.
- Pre-season work is already under way but the club has not yet announced coaching staff, contract details or player moves, and Polokwane City will need to appoint a successor for Mohafe ahead of the new campaign.
