Born in Sebokeng,[3] [4] Mahlatsi started his career at SuperSport United before joining Ubuntu Cape Town on loan until the end of the season in January 2018.[5] He scored twice in 11 appearances for Ubuntu Cape Town, and was promoted to the senior SuperSport United squad ahead of the 2018–19 season. He played 9 times for the club across the 2018–19 season. In September 2019, he joined University of Pretoria of the National First Division on a season-long loan.[6] He scored 10 goals in 27 league appearances for University of Pretoria.

Style of play

Mahlatsi is left-footed and plays primarily as an attacking midfielder and a centre forward. In April 2018, he was described by The Sowetan as 'versatile', adding that "his close control with the ball, speed, dribbling, crossing, and ability to use both feet allow him to play in any offensive position on the field".[8]
