BackpageOrlando Pirates have exercised their right to extend Monnapule Saleng's deal by two years.
It was not an anticipated move, owing to what has been happening between the player and the club.
Saleng has not played for Bucs since December last year when he featured in the team's 0-0 draw against Al Ahly in the Caf Champions League.
Have a look at what the fans said, as sampled by GOAL.

BackpageMaybe, just maybe they exercised that knowing they would have to meet him halfway and I don't think they did that without informing him. Otherwise, it will not solve anything but create more tension if they exercise it without him or his agency - Alberto Falcones Viti
BackpagepixWhat I like about all this nonsense is that Orlando Pirates have kept their silence on the matter. The longer they are silent the better - Dumisani Mlangeni
BackpagepixLesedi Kapinga and Katlego Otladisa escaped that prison. It's possible for Saleng. He must keep his head up - Mkhanyisi Madlavana
GoalIs that going to make Saleng happy by keeping him with no game time? Please, whoever is responsible must come up with a solution for both parties - Sanele Chiya
BackpagepixVery good move Pirates, Saleng and his agent must learn to be professional of find another profession where they will do as they wish - Sbonelo Gqohomu Cebekhulu
BackpageAre they expecting other players to produce good results for the team? This situation will affect all team players and bad results will start to occur - Khulsani Nkazi DlaminiBlackman Ndlovu
BackpageGood move by Orlando Pirates, whoever wants him must pay, we are not releasing anyone on a free transfer - Tsepo Masilela
BackpagePirates are punishing Saleng for a crime we all don't know. They added two years intentionally with no increment salary and he is now forced to be stuck in prison for 2 years, what does that do to his mental health? That's why some people go into drugs just to numb the pain and we as fans blame him for ruining his career forgetting that he went through a lot with no one's support. - Blackman Ndlovu
BackPagePixYou might think Pirates did a good thing but the storm is brewing. The Bucs are destroying themselves by keeping unhappy players. Pirates should learn to sell players when offers from outside South Africa come. This team is sitting on a time bomb - Debeila Henry
BackpageThis boy is in jail and no one will rescue him it is clear he won't play for that club, they know he will get a team if he is free - Rofhiwa Netshikhudini
