Inside kwaito legend Arthur Mafokate's bottomless love for Bucs

With the iconic South African musician Arther Mafokate having previously threatened to stop supporting Orlando Pirates if it continues making him too happy, we take a quick look at his notably relationship with the Bucs. 

The story

Several seasons ago, Mafokate took to his Instagram to post: "Dear @OrlandoPirates, I repeat I will resign as a supporter if you keep overloading us with so much happiness, we win a trophy and a week later we win a derby, I am giving you my last warning otherwise I am gone, too much happiness not good for me."

Clearly the 'Sika Lekhekhe' musician has an undying love for Pirates, as he has also been seen wearing every kit that the club have released for the past handful of seasons.

Last week, he was among the famous names who attended the launch of Pirates'  2024/25 home and way kits, appearing alongside the likes of South African socialites Robot Boi and Primo Baloyi, the son of Lucas Radebe.

Although the Soweto giants are clear favourite, Arthur's love for football is evident to see and he tends to weigh in on matters involving other teams like Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns, as well as the national team Bafana Bafana.

More recently, Arthur attended Dr. Pitso Mosimane's 60th birthday celebration, which came in the wake of the former Al Ahly's boss receiving an honorary doctorate from the University of Johannesburg.
