Orlando Pirates supporters have recently seen some familiar faces leave the club, including Innocent Maela, Miguel Timm, Thabiso Monyane, and Paseka Mako. But the rebuild is already underway.
The club has reportedly secured four new signings ahead of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season, with official announcements expected once the transfer window opens on July 1.
These new recruits include two central midfielders, a left-back, and an attacking midfielder—all set to don the famous black and white for the first time.
Meet the New Pirates:
- Sihle Nduli (29) – Central midfielder from Stellenbosch FC
- Masindi Nemtajela (23) – Central midfielder from Marumo Gallants
- Tshepho Mashiloane (22) – Right-back from Baroka FC
- Sinoxolo Kwayiba (25) – Attacking midfielder from Chippa United
More Signings Expected
Pirates are also on the hunt to replace Paseka Mako, with young full-back Neo Rapoo emerging as a hot target (read full story here). On the wings, the club is reportedly close to sealing a deal for AmaZulu’s Tshepang Moremi.
Meanwhile, after the departure of coach Jose Riveiro in May, Orlando Pirates are still searching for a new head coach. Local reports suggest that Rulani Mokwena is the favorite to take over
