The latest transfer buzz around Orlando Pirates brings a mix of opinions, especially concerning the signing of Masindi Nemtajela and the search for a player to fill the shoes of club legend Tlou Segolela.
Pirates Fans Split Over Nemtajela
Reports suggest that Pirates have secured the signing of Nemtajela, but not all supporters are convinced he’s the right fit for the club. Some fans feel he lacks the quality needed to make an impact at Pirates.
One fan, Sisko860#1, expressed doubt:
“Nemtajela is a miss for me. He’s not Pirates material. I don’t know this Mashiloane, but both seem average and don’t outshine what we already have.”
Neo Rapoo: Chiefs Eyeing Pirates’ Target
Adding to the transfer drama, Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly thrown their hat in the ring to sign teenage sensation Neo Rapoo from SuperSport United. The 19-year-old full-back, who recently celebrated success with the Afcon U20 side, is also a known target for Pirates, sparking a fresh rivalry over his signature.
Tshepang Moremi: Could He Be the New Segolela?
The Buccaneers have also wrapped up the signing of Tshepang Moremi, a speedy winger from AmaZulu. Moremi had a solid 2024-25 season, featuring in 28 league games, netting three goals, and providing seven assists.
His quick pace and direct playing style have drawn comparisons to former Pirates star Tlou ‘Gautrain’ Segolela, giving fans hope that Moremi could become the club’s next electric winger.
