Evidence Makgopa

Evidence Makgopa is a powerful, direct centre-forward who made his name at Baroka FC before Orlando Pirates secured his signature in 2022. Strong in the air, effective as a target man, and capable of holding up play to bring teammates into the game, he offers Bafana Bafana a physical presence that complements the more technical forwards around him. He has been a consistent scorer for Pirates in the PSL and CAF competitions, and his performances earned him a regular place in the national team setup. At 26, Makgopa is in the prime years of his career and one of South Africa's most dependable attacking options.
