Orlando Pirates agree terms with experienced PSL maestro

Orlando Pirates are close to snapping up Sihle Nduli from Stellies.

Orlando Pirates reach verbal agreement with Nduli

29-year-old Stellies schemer Sihle Nduli is poised to join Pirates. He’s made 23 league appearances this term and picked up a slightly concerning tally of nine yellow cards.

“iDiski Times has it on good authority that a verbal agreement has been reached to join the Buccaneers next season.”

Speculation: Mbokazi, Benni, ‘new Jali’

TRANSFERS: NINE huge names linked with Pirates

Mashiloane is in the bag to compete with Van Rooyen

Meanwhile, 23-year-old Tshepho Mashiloane will soon swap Baroka for Orlando Pirates. Former Stellies man Deano van Rooyen is the incumbent in the right-back position, with Bandile Shandu deputising. Thabiso Monyane and his namesake Thabiso Lebitso have hardly had a look-in during the 2024-2025 campaign.

Dream Orlando Pirates XI?

Chaine; Van Rooyen, Sibisi, Mbokazi, Letlapa; Mbatha, Nemtajela; Nkota, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng; Makgopa.

This XI would see Vuyo Letlapa at left-back (although he could move to France) and Masindi Nemtajela replacing the ageing Makhehlene Makhaula. That might be harsh on the latter, who’s been a standout performer for the Buccaneers in 2024-2025. Also, can you see a vacancy in that XI for Fiston Mayele? If so, what does the club do about Tshegofatso Mabasa and Evidence Makgopa, not to mention Boitumelo Radiopane? On the coaching front, there’s a clamour for Kenya National Team coach Benni McCarthy to sit in the Pirates dugout.

Are you a fan of Nduli, or does his disciplinary record worry you?
