Following Innocent Maela’s exit, Orlando Pirates offseason just got trickier as they now face the burden of juggling crucial internal and external situations.
According to reports, defender Nkosinathi Sibisi is being highly-linked with taking over the armband duties, but, like announcing their new coach, only time will tell as to who will don the new role.
Signings galore
Orlando Pirates have wasted no time this offseason window, an action perhaps ignited on the back of their dismal January transfer window, which saw them come up empty handed while Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs welcomed several players.
Sihle Nduli, Sinoxolo Kwayiba, and Baroka FC defender Tshepho Moshiloane have reportedly already put pen to paper with the Sowetan outfit.
“We still got to pay Mashiloane until the end of June, but Orlando Pirates have purchased Mashiloane for the coming season, not this season,” Baroka’ FC’s chairman Khurishi Mphahlele informed iDiski Times.
“But if Pirates want Mashiloane earlier there’s no problem we’ve got an agreement with Pirates. We can always make provision for that, but we are going to pay Mashiloane at the end of June because his contract ends at the end of June and the Pirates contract begins on the first of July.
“From the first of July he is an Orlando Pirates player, until then he’s still our player and we pay him.”
