Lehlohonolo Mojela (born 18 September 1996) is a South African soccer player who plays as a forward for Stellenbosch in the Premier Soccer League.

He attended the Shumba Academy.[1] Following the 2022–23 National First Division, Mojela and Casric Stars contested the promotion playoffs,[2] but did not succeed.

While playing for Casric Stars, Mojela was discovered by TS Galaxy, where he was transferred.[3] He thus made his first-tier debut in the 2023-24 South African Premier Division.[4] At TS Galaxy, Mojela helped reach the final of the 2023 Carling Knockout Cup and was described as a "key player".[5][6]

Soccer Laduma claimed that Kaizer Chiefs were "monitoring" the player.[7] In May 2024, Mojela publicly stated his wish to play for the Mamelodi Sundowns. Stellenbosch also confirmed being interested in the player.[8] He ended up signing for Stellenbosch.[1]

He was also called up for South Africa for the 2024 COSAFA Cup, where he made his international debut against Mozambique.[9]
