Orlando Pirates rumours: Appollis, Mbokazi, Benni McCarthy

Today’s Orlando Pirates news roundup features Oswin Appollis, Benni McCarthy and future predictions for the outstanding Mbekezeli Mbokazi.

Appollis to leave Polokwane

23-year-old Bafana Bafana and Polokwane winger Oswin Appollis could make a big move in the winter.

“Oswin Appollis will finally make his way out from Polokwane City during the next transfer window based on information reaching this website,” Kick Off reported.

“Appollis was linked with MC Alger earlier in the season, but Polokwane boss Johnny Mogaladi stood his ground. Kaizer Chiefs then came knocking as well with no success.

“However, this website has gathered that plans are already underway to bring in a replacement for Appollis, whose form has dropped this season,” the outlet added.
