Magesi team news & squads
In trying to save their season, Magesi have made a few additions to their squad by signing the Pirates duo of Siyabonga Ndlozi and Sifiso Luthuli.
It is to be seen if the two players are permitted by Pirates to face their parent club.
Right winger Nyakala Raphadu is another player signed by Magesi and could make his debut on Saturday.
Forward Wonderboy Makhubu who was on loan at Magesi from Sekhukhune United has since moved to Stellenbosch, but coach John Maduka could have a perfect replacement in Luthuli.

BackpageHead-to-head and recent form
Pirates started the year 2026 on a low note by dropping two points in the 0-0 draw with Sekhukhune United last weekend.
However, they still remain strongly in contention for the league title as they have three points less than log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
The Buccaneers have two games in hand, placing them in a favourable situation to go back to the top.
They come up against Magesi who are playing their first match of the year and are at the bottom of the standings and desperate to vacate the relegation zone.
Dikana tsa Meetse have won just one match of their last five outings, while also recording two draws and as many defeats.
