Player Info

Gift Motupa is a South African striker whose career has been a journey of persistence, currently seeking to reignite his goal-scoring form with Magesi FC. The 31-year-old forward, standing at 182cm, possesses a natural instinct for finding space in the box and a powerful shot. Motupa first caught the eye as a prolific scorer in the youth ranks, which earned him a move to the Orlando Pirates development system. He struggled to secure a regular starting spot at the Buccaneers but showed his quality during loan spells at Baroka FC and later at Bidvest Wits, where he enjoyed a productive period. His career has since taken him to several PSL clubs, including a stint at Mamelodi Sundowns, though playing time was limited. His main highlights include scoring important goals in domestic cup competitions and helping teams achieve survival or mid-table security. Known for his movement and finishing when in confidence, Motupa's path reflects the challenges many talented strikers face. At Magesi, he will be looking to rediscover his scoring touch and lead the line with his experience and predatory instincts.
