The Pirates announced the signings of Sephelo Baloni (Cape Town All Stars), Katlego Otladisa (Marumo Gallants), Melusi Buthelezi (TS Galaxy), and Patrick Maswanganyi (SuperSport United) earlier this month. These new additions signify the team’s commitment to strengthening their lineup for the upcoming 2023/24 season.
As the club welcomes new players, they have also bid farewell to several members of the squad including Terrence Dzvukamanja, Ntsako Makhubela, Craig Martin, Nkanyiso Zungu, Kopano Thuntsane, and Ndumiso Mabena. These departures create room for fresh talent and contribute to the overall growth and development of the team.
The Orlando Pirates’ recent activity in the transfer market signifies their ambition and dedication to building a formidable team capable of competing at the highest level. By making strategic signings, they have enhanced their roster and showcased their ability to attract top talent both domestically and internationally.
As the new players settle into their roles, the entire Orlando Pirates organization can look forward to a thrilling and competitive season ahead. The club’s recent activity in the transfer market proves their adaptability and commitment to excellence, and fans of the team can anticipate witnessing the fruits of these signings over the season.
