Boikanyo Ramathlakwane Komane (born 28 November 1992) is a South African soccer player who plays as a defensive midfielder for Richards Bay in the Premier Soccer League.

Following stints at United and Royal Eagles, he spent one and a half season in Thanda Royal Zulu. [2] In 2017, Thanda Royal Zulu sold their league license to AmaZulu and wrapped up their operation. Both Royal Eagles and Richards Bay claimed to sign the player. A DRC tribunal ruled in favour of Royal Eagles. [3] [4]

Komane went on to Chippa United in 2018 [5] and was a regular in the 2018-19 and 2019-20 South African Premier Division. [6] Sports magazine wrote about Komane as a possible replacement for Kaizer Chiefs's Willard Katsande or SuperSport United's Dean Furman. [7] However, he went to the Lamontville Golden Arrows and only played one match during a two-year stay. [2] A good year in the First Division with All Stars earned him a move back to the Premier Division in summer 2023, signing for Richards Bay. [8]
