One of the most exciting signings is Sphamandla Gumede, a talented midfielder who recently joined from ABC Motsepe League club Dondol Stars. The rising star is looking forward to playing for the Soweto giants and is expected to strengthen the team’s midfield.

Another significant addition is Lesedi Kapinga, a skilled attacking midfielder who played for Bafana Bafana in the COSAFA Cup. Kapinga has signed a three-year deal with the Pirates and is eager to begin training with the team.

The Pirates have also signed Sephelo Baloni (Cape Town All Stars), Katlego Otladisa (Marumo Gallants), Melusi Buthelezi (TS Galaxy), and Patrick Maswanganyi (SuperSport United). These new players showcase the Pirates’ commitment to bringing in talent to solidify their position in the league.

Departures

With new players arriving, some old favourites have had to leave. One such player is Goodman Mosele, who will be sent out on loan for the 2023/24 season. The Bafana international has struggled for playing time and is likely to join Chippa United.

The Pirates have also confirmed the departures of Terrence Dzvukamanja, Ntsako Makhubela, Craig Martin, Nkanyiso Zungu, Kopano Thuntsane, and Ndumiso Mabena. These exits are a clear sign that the club is focused on creating a cohesive and competitive team for the upcoming season.

As the Pirates prepare for the 2023/24 season, the team is in a state of flux. With new signings and some familiar faces leaving, it remains to be seen how these changes will impact the team’s performance. However, there is no denying that the Pirates are working hard to pursue success and a brighter future. Fans can look forward to an exciting and transformative season.
