New Orlando Pirates winger ready 'to play for my mom every time' and vows to 'look up to Relebohile Mofokeng & Mohau Nkota'

Orlando Pirates have made wholesale signings in the ongoing transfer window, ensuring they have enough depth to challenge for top honours.

Apart from the Premier Soccer League and other domestic competitions, the Buccaneers will be dining with the big boys in the CAF Champions League.

Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou knows he has to get it right after taking over from Jose Riveiro.

Among the new faces at the club is 20-year-old Kabelo Kgositsile, who will, however, only join next season as he remains at Baroka on loan.

The youngster impressed the technical team with his showings when Bucs played Baroka in the Nedbank Cup last season.

The winger is grateful for the move, insisting it will help him uplift the status of his family, especially his mother, who is struggling to make ends meet.

He has further explained how Mohau Nkota and Relebohile Mofokeng's successes motivate him to make the move to the Soweto giants next term.

“I was so excited after signing for Pirates because it had always been my dream to play for a big team,” he told Sowetan.

“All I want to do when I get to Pirates is to work very hard and make my mom proud. Every time I play, I think about the background I come from.

"My mom [Francisa Kgositsile] is a single parent and she's not working, so I always think about changing her life for the better," Kgositsile continued.

"I am the only one working at home, so I want to play with my mom every time.

“I look up to Mofokeng and Nkota ... seeing them doing well at Pirates last season motivated me a lot to say I can also do it because the club believes in young players,” he concluded..

Kgositsile will definitely have to prove his quality, considering the presence of some Bafana Bafana internationals who play in his position.

The youngster will be watching with keen interest from outside this season as he prepares to join up with his new teammates next year.
