Orlando Pirates need to bolster their wide attacking options, with continued talk that Monnapule Saleng will leave the club.
Tshepang Moremi is seen as a good option.
Pirates want rotation options to avoid burnout for Mohau Nkota.
Orlando Pirates move for Moremi
24-year-old AmaZulu winger Tshepang Moremi enjoyed a productive 2024-2025 campaign. He made 28 league appearances for Usuthu, scoring three goals and assisting seven. He’s got pace and directness to burn. Pirates fans will remember another speed merchant, Tlou ‘Gautrain’ Segolela, who Moremi isn’t dissimilar to.
“SABC Sport has established that Orlando Pirates are pushing to sign winger Tshepang Moremi from AmaZulu, with discussions believed to be advanced and a deal now likely,” the report said.
“It’s understood these talks are progressing with ease given the history between the two sides with previous deals during the transfer window as well as the mutual respect that exists among the two clubs,” Molefe added.
Pirates bolster their wide defensive options, too
What is there to know about 23-year-old Tshepho Mashiloane? Well, the versatile defender can operate at right-back or in central midfield. This will be a considerable boost for the Pirates technical team; although they have a strong squad at their disposal, both full-back positions are relatively weak spots after the release of Thabiso Monyane and Mako. With experience in the second tier, it’s also hoped that he’s ready for a battle.
Nemtajela to replace Timm
Orlando Pirates have moved quickly to secure a replacement for the departed Miguel Timm. 23-year-old Masindi ‘Confidence’ Nemtajela is the man. The all-action schemer made 17 appearances for Gallants in the league last season, scoring once, supplying two assists and picking up four bookings.
Is Moremi the real deal?
