If their rumoured transfer activity is anything to go by, Orlando Pirates seem serious about retaining their crown next season.
Orlando Pirates chase proven Betway Premiership stars
Highly regarded Sbangani Zulu made 20 league appearances for Richards Bay last term, while 25-year-old central midfielder Mthetheleli Mthiyane made 25 league appearances for Stellenbosch. Widespread local reports point to Pirates snapping up both players in the coming weeks.
Ndlovu is already in the bag
Pirates have wrapped up the signing of in-demand winger Siyanda Ndlovu from Golden Arrows. With four goals and six assists from 25 appearances in the league last term, he’s been in demand. Tshepang Moremi, Oswin Appollis and Relebohile Mofokeng are already at the club, so here’s now a seeming oversupply of wide attackers on the books. Ndlovu’s imminent arrival could be the clearest sign yet that 21-year-old Mofokeng’s final form is in the number 10 role. Ndlovu’s arrival is hot off the heels of Sipho Mbule’s exit from the club.
Orlando Pirates star Mofokeng will be key at the World Cup
Rele Mofokeng is expected to play a pivotal role for Bafana at the 2026 World Cup. Bafana starts its campaign against Mexico in the tournament opener on June 11th. The iconic Estadio Azteca will play host to this grand occasion.
