Orlando Pirates have a flurry of incomings expected soon. Sinoxolo Kwayiba headlines the list, but who else is arriving?
Bafana midfielder Mwayiba and anchor man Masindi Nemtajela should improve the team’s options in the centre of the park.
Yanela Mbuthuma will challenge Evidence Makgopa and Tshegofatso Mabasa for a striking role.

Orlando Pirates to announce eight signings soon
The ever-reputable @UnplayableZA on X believes Pirates will unveil as many as eight new signings soon. Sihle Nduli, Kabelo Kgositsile, Tshepo Mashilone, Yanela Mbuthuma, Masindi Nemtajela, Nkosikhona Ndaba, Sinoxolo Kwayiba and Tshepang Moremi are all expected to be Buccaneers soon.
What can Nemtajela bring to the Orlando Pirates midfield?
It’s unlikely that wholesale changes will be made to a settled, predominantly young squad. However, there are a couple of key areas needing improvement. 24-year-old Marumo Gallants midfield general Masindi Nemtajela is seen as a natural successor to the impressive but ageing Makhehlene Makhaula. The all-action schemer claimed a goal, two assists and four yellow cards in 17 league outings last term.

More interest in Mofokeng
Orlando Pirates must accept that their prized asset, Relebohile Mofokeng, is wanted in a few corners of the globe. The Bafana Bafana wide attacker seems destined for a big-money move away from South Africa.
Will these signings take Pirates to the league title?
