The 21-year-old midfielder's clinical display highlighted his growing influence in the Buccaneers' attack and underlined why he is considered one of South Africa's most exciting young talents.
Speaking after the match, Mofokeng admitted the performance was a special moment in his career.
"It is very special; I have been waiting for this moment. It has been a while since I have had a moment like this. I have not been scoring as much as I would have liked," he told SuperSport TV.
"I think this hat-trick will improve my statistics, and that's what I am playing for. It is very important because it will boost my confidence and encourage me to keep going without giving up."
Mofokeng's three goals took his season tally to eight, complemented by six assists across all competitions, showing his consistency and growing impact in the final third.
He also praised the team's work on finishing, which he said has been a focus in training.
"We've been working hard on converting our chances, and today (Sunday) it really paid off," he added.
