Orlando Pirates are gearing up for one of the biggest matchups of their season as they prepare to take on Mamelodi Sundowns.
However, while all eyes are on the field, there’s a lot of speculation swirling off it, with rumors about potential signings and player movements making headlines.
Mabasa’s Inspirational Journey and Goal-Scoring Record
Tshegofatso Mabasa has worked hard to carve out his place at Orlando Pirates, overcoming numerous challenges and disappointments along the way.
He’s found inspiration in the journeys of former Pirates stars who faced similar struggles and pushed through to success.
Mabasa is also closing in on a remarkable goal-scoring record that fans are eagerly watching.
His resilience and determination have become a beacon of hope for the team, and he remains one of the key figures at Pirates.
Pirates Revive Interest in Muzomuhle Khanyi
Muzomuhle Khanyi, a 25-year-old striker from the NFD, has been catching the eye with his impressive performances, especially his recent hat-trick.
Despite Pirates already having potent goal-scorers like Tshegofatso Mabasa and the relentless Evidence Makgopa, the club is reportedly keeping an eye on Khanyi as a potential addition to strengthen their attacking options.
It’s a sign that there’s always room for more talent at Pirates, even with the squad already brimming with capable players.
Marshall Munetsi’s Impressive Rise After Pirates Rejection
Marshall Munetsi, the 28-year-old Zimbabwean midfielder, has seen his career skyrocket.
After completing a €18 million (R349 million) move to Wolverhampton Wanderers from French side Reims, Munetsi is set to earn a reported €51k (R1 million) per week with his new club.
This is a remarkable turnaround for a player who was earning just R5k a month when he was with Orlando Pirates only six years ago.
Munetsi’s rise to the Premier League is a testament to his hard work and determination, and he could make his debut for Wolves as soon as Sunday, February 9th, when they face Blackburn in the FA Cup.
Jaedin Rhodes Could Be the Next Big Thing at Pirates
Orlando Pirates are reportedly looking to sign Jaedin Rhodes, an exciting young winger/playmaker from Cape Town City.
At just 21 years old, Rhodes has already made 17 appearances across all competitions this season, scoring two goals.
His flair, creativity, and versatility have caught the attention of many, and he could be a key figure for Pirates in the future.
The Cape Town City youth product can play on either wing or in the number 10 role, making him an adaptable addition to any squad.

With a game in hand, Pirates know that a victory against the reigning champions could significantly impact their chances of lifting the league title.
The clash is set for Saturday, February 8th, at 15:30, and it’s shaping up to be the biggest game of the season so far.
