Orlando Pirates news

The former Orlando Pirates star arrives in Belgium with a burgeoning reputation following a breakout stint in the Premier Soccer League and a FIFA World Cup appearance with Bafana Bafana. However, a man who knows the Belgian landscape well has issued a stern reality check about the hurdles that lie ahead for the 21-year-old sensation.

The former Premier League and Ivory Coast star Salomon Kalou has thrown his weight behind The Glamour Boys reclaiming their status as the kings of South African football. The Champions League winner believes that a resurgence from Amakhosi is exactly what the domestic game needs to elevate the standard of the Betway Premiership.

With a Premier Soccer League title defence and a top tier continental campaign to fight, the Buccaneers have started re-shaping their squad to prepare for the upcoming season. The latest announcement follows the already reported exits of Relebohile Mofokeng, Bandile Shandu, Sipho Mbule, Tshegofatso Mabasa, Karim Kimvuidi and Gilberto, meaning an astonishing 13 players from their treble-winning squad have left before the new season begins.

Former South Africa international striker has called for a swift transition in the Bafana Bafana dugout, urging the South African Football Association to appoint a high-profile local technical team. With Hugo Broos' tenure nearing its end, the Orlando Pirates legend believes a quartet of homegrown coaches is best equipped to lead the national team into its next era.

The Buccaneers right-back has opened up about the pride of being part of the South African squad that broke new ground at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. His reflections come after a landmark campaign in which he also celebrated a domestic treble with the Soweto giants, capping off a season filled with unforgettable milestones.

Andries Sebola has insisted the Soweto giants are well-positioned to fill the void left by the 21-year-old winger’s high-profile move to Europe. Despite missing out on touted replacement Siyanda Ndlovu to rivals Mamelodi Sundowns, the Bucs legend believes his former side have enough depth and talent in their ranks to remain competitive.

The retired South African star has sensationally claimed that Broos has reached the end of the road with the national team. Despite the Belgian coach guiding the side back to global relevance, Modise insists that the recent World Cup exit has exposed clear tactical ceilings.

The former Orlando Pirates star’s whirlwind rise from Major League Soccer newcomer to international standout has reached a new fever pitch following South Africa’s historic run at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The 20-year-old defender has become one of the most talked-about prospects in MLS, leaving The Men in Red with a major decision to make regarding his future.

The South African forward is back on the market after bringing an underwhelming spell in Major League Soccer to an end. The 25-year-old and Toronto agreed to part ways by mutual consent after first-team opportunities proved few and far between.

The ex-Buccaneers and Bafana midfielder has officially found a new home after his recent exit from Babina Noko. The veteran playmaker has decided to take his talents to the Mother City ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Former Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Pitso Mosimane has given his seal of approval to the 21-year-old Bafana Bafana star's move. The legendary South African tactician believes the Belgian Pro League serves as the ultimate proving ground for African talent looking to break into the world's biggest divisions.

The KwaZulu-Natal outfit has officially ended their era of co-coaching by appointing Gabriel as the club's new head coach ahead of the upcoming campaign. The move sees the long-serving technical member finally take the reins solo as the Natal Rich Boyz look to establish themselves as a consistent force in the Premier Soccer League.

The Soweto giants’ recruitment drive has sent a clear message to the rest of the Premier Soccer League, but it is the arrival of the young centre-back that has generated the most intrigue among the Ghost. After a standout campaign with the Natal Rich Boyz, the 22-year-old makes the move to Mayfair with a glowing reputation as one of the most promising young defenders in South African football.
