Orlando Pirates have become Sipho Mbule’s fourth club in the Betway Premiership after SuperSport United, Mamelodi Sundowns and Sekhukhune United.
The 27-year-old has become a Buccaneer after he left Sundowns for reasons that include alleged reports of attending training under the influence of liquor.
Former Orlando Pirates attacker Steve Lokoelea has touched on the delicate topic.

“He needs to remain disciplined at all times, and he should take a break from drinking to focus solely on his football. As a player on a big team, he must steer clear of distractions. Based on what we have read about him, it’s important for him to distance himself from alcohol.
“He should concentrate on his football and aim to represent the national team. As a country, we need him in our football,” Lekoelea concluded.
