Orlando Pirates Prepare to Release Several Key Players and Welcome Zimbabwean Attacker Prince Ndlovu in Soweto

If you’re an Orlando Pirates supporter, some big changes might be on the horizon.

The club appears ready to welcome a promising new attacker from Zimbabwe while also saying farewell to a few familiar faces in the squad.

Departures Likely for Several Players Including Lepasa and Ndlondlo

Reports suggest that Orlando Pirates are planning to part ways with players like Zakhele Lepasa and Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo in the near future.

The club might officially announce these changes within the next week or two, so fans should keep an eye out for updates.

More Players Facing Uncertain Futures at Pirates

According to Soccer Laduma, it’s not just Lepasa and Ndlondlo who could be moving on.

Angolan winger Gilberto, who went out on loan earlier this year, is unlikely to return permanently.

Katlego Otladisa, who hasn’t seen much game time and was loaned to Sekhukhune United, might also be shown the door.

Midfielders Siphelo Baloni and Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo are reportedly being evaluated closely by the coaching staff to see if they fit into the club’s long-term plans.

With a few players’ futures hanging in the balance, it looks like Orlando Pirates are reshaping their squad.

Prince Ndlovu From Highlanders FC Could Be the New Signing

On the flip side, there’s exciting news about a potential new signing.

Prince Ndlovu, a rising star from Highlanders FC in Zimbabwe, could be joining Orlando Pirates soon.

The young attacker had a chance to move to Europe earlier but that opportunity didn’t pan out.

Now, in 2025, Ndlovu has made a name for himself in the Zimbabwean Premier League, and his arrival in Soweto could add some fresh firepower to the Pirates’ attack.

What Else Could Change for Orlando Pirates This Season?

With several players likely to leave and a new promising talent possibly joining, Orlando Pirates fans have plenty to talk about.

The club’s decisions in the coming days will shape the team’s outlook for the rest of the season.
