It’s a work in progress.

We’ll take it one day at a time.”

“Every footballer’s dream is to play for a big club,” Rasebotja continued.

“For an institution like Orlando Pirates to enquire about my services is a big career move, and I looked forward to it with enthusiasm and excitement.”

Rasebotja’s journey exemplifies the aspirations and challenges of transitioning to a prestigious football club like Orlando Pirates, where each day brings new opportunities for growth and success.
