Newly-established Premier Soccer League outfit Siwelele FC appoint ex-Orlando Pirates captain as their head coach - 'A new chapter begins'

Siwelele FC have confirmed the appointment of former Orlando Pirates captain Lehlohonolo Seema as their new head coach.

This marks Seema's return to the top flight since he left Sekhukhune United towards the end of last season.

Initially, former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rhulani Mokwena had been linked with the Siwelele position, but he opted to return to North Africa and take charge at MC Alger.

Meanwhile, Seema arrives at Siwelele with quite some good experience, having coached Bloemfontein Celtic, Chippa United, Black Leopards, Golden Arrows, Polokwane City, and Sekhukhune.

Siwelele's existence will always be compared with their predecessor, SuperSport United, who established themselves as an iconic PSL club primarily because of their achievements and the talents they produced.

The new outfit is looking forward to their first engagement in the top flight since they bought the PSL status before the 2025/26 season begins.

Seema's first PSL test will come when they host Golden Arrows at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on August 9.
