After many attacks on the player and the big claims that his real age is twenty-seven years and not twenty years as is being said. There are many voices that came out and defended the player openly and said that the player's real age is as he personally claims and that his real age is indeed 20 years old.

Among the voices that actually defended the player was the former coach of Orlando Pirates, Wonder Mnguni, who defended the player and his case in a personal interview with iDiski Times, saying:

I can attest, I saw the birth certificate of Mbekezeli and I saw his ID when he came to us, He was doing Grade 10 that was in 2023. He was a bit late in school when you look at his age. And the other thing people must know, when you watch him on TV, he looks a bit older, but when you see him live, you can see he’s a young boy.
