The Mosimane name is making waves again — but this time, it’s the next generation stepping into the spotlight.
Reatlegile “Rea” Mosimane, son of South African coaching legend Pitso Mosimane, is on the brink of a major breakthrough after securing a trial with a top La Liga club.
And this is not a “famous father favour” story.
The young Kaizer Chiefs academy striker has been quietly building his reputation in the junior ranks, delivering consistent performances and finding the back of the net regularly. His form has not gone unnoticed.
That hard work has now opened the door to Spain — a move that could shape his future in professional football.
Speaking on Marawa Sports Worldwide, Mosimane made it clear his son earned the opportunity on merit.
“A week before he got injured, he got a trial in Spain,” he revealed. “I won’t name the club now, but it’s a strong team with one of the best youth development programmes.”
He also dismissed any suggestion of influence, stressing that modern scouting systems rely on performance, not reputation.
“There’s a lot of scouting happening. Games are recorded, some are live — decisions are not made on hype, but on consistent performances,” he said.
The only setback has been a two-month injury that temporarily delayed the move. However, sources close to the situation believe that once fully fit, Rea will get his opportunity abroad.
While the club remains undisclosed, Mosimane hinted that it is not one of Spain’s traditional giants like FC Barcelona or Real Madrid — but still a respected institution known for developing young talent.
Rea has already had exposure to international football environments, having previously trained at a Barcelona satellite academy in Cairo, Egypt, during his father’s time at Al Ahly SC.
For now, all eyes are on the promising striker as he prepares for what could be the first step toward a European career.
