The striker has been turning heads on the local scene, with fans and photographers taking notice.

What They’re Saying

🗣️ Kamogelo Boikhutso:
“Laudry Mukaba 🙏 this one is very Deadly and Dangerous… Yhooo 🔥💯🤞”

🗣️ KaSi Snap:
“Congo striker on Kasi soil 🇨🇩🔥 Mukaba was cooking defenders 🍳⚽💯”

Whether the “Congo striker” tag is nickname or heritage, the message is clear: defenders are struggling to contain him.

Playing Style

From the comments, Mukaba brings:

• Physical presence — strong, hard to knock off the ball
• Finishing ability — described as “deadly” in front of goal
• Pace — leaving defenders behind
• Flair — the kind of striker who makes fans pull out their phones

One commenter simply called him “dangerous.”

What’s Next

With tournaments like Shaka Easter Games ongoing, Mukaba has a platform to showcase his talent to an even wider audience. If he continues at this pace, it won’t be long before scouts start paying attention.
