Orlando Pirates Chase Matuludi
Thabang Matuludi made 29 league appearances for Polokwane in 2023-2024, demonstrating the 25-year-old’s consistency and reliability. Availability is one of the most valuable characteristics a player can possess. Unplayable on X believes Stellenbosch will compete with Pirates to sign Matuludi.
BUCCANEERS ARE BLESSED IN DEFENCE.
As things stand, Jose Riveiro’s domestic cup double champions have a plethora of assets in central defensive zones. Tapeolo Xoki, Nkosinathi Sibisi, Thabang Sesane, and Olisa Ndah are contending for two positions. The prospective acquisition of Matuludi would give depth while also making one of the existing players’ futures uncertain.
MOTHIBA IS TALKING TO THE CHIEFS
Lebo Mothiba is no longer a Lille player after spending six years with Lorient in northeastern France. Soccer-Laduma feels negotiations between Mothiba’s representatives and Kaizer Chiefs are progressing well. Mothiba has 14 caps for South Africa and four goals, but his last appearance came in October 2023.
“They’re still talking. Negotiations are currently taking place, but nothing is finalized. Doubts remain because he has only recently returned from an injury, but a final decision is expected within the next several days. The team is looking for experienced strikers who can work with the younger players and help the team move forward. “And they believe Lebo (Mothiba) could be that player right now,” stated a source.

Orlando Pirates’ future: Winger in doubt amid transfer rumors
According to iDiski Times, the Orlando Pirates are considering the future of one of their wingers amid transfer speculation. Vincent Pule, a key winger for the Orlando Pirates, is at a crossroads after recently signing a new contract with the club. Concerns about reoccurring injuries and inconsistent playing time under manager Jose Riveiro. This is why Pule is considering his future possibilities as the new campaign approaches.
SEEKING CLARITY ABOUT ROLE AND FUTURE
According to sources close to the situation, Pule has addressed Orlando Pirates management to clarify his status with the squad. Monnapule Saleng, Karim Kimvuidi, Azola Matrose, Deon Hotto, and Kabelo Dlamini are among the squad’s top competitors. The seasoned winger is considering his next move amid whispers of a possible departure.
ORLANDO PIRATES’ CONTINGENCY PLAN AND TRANSFER INTERESTS
Should Vincent Pule decide to leave the Orlando Pirates, the team is actively looking for suitable successors. Candidates for his position include Saleng and Dlamini, among others. So that the squad can keep its competitive advantage in the coming season.
TRANSFER DEVELOPMENTS: THATO KIBA AND THE ORLANDO PIRATES’ INTEREST
Meanwhile, Stellenbosch FC’s pursuit of TS Galaxy midfielder Thato Khiba has experienced setbacks. This is the result of failed talks on personal terms. Khiba, who impressed at Galaxy with two goals and two assists in 24 games, originally piqued Stellenbosch’s interest as they prepared to make their debut in African continental championships.
With Stellenbosch unable to conclude Khiba’s transfer, Orlando Pirates are reportedly pursuing the 27-year-old midfielder. Khiba’s versatility makes him an appealing potential for the Pirates as they look to improve their midfield options.
Vincent Pule’s future at Orlando Pirates is uncertain due to ongoing transfer transactions and managerial choices. The winger’s stint with the club has been distinguished by glimpses of brilliance, punctuated by injuries and sporadic playing time.
According to sources, Pule is anxious to play a larger role in the squad, but is also open to exploring other alternatives. Only if a clearer path to regular starting opportunities does not emerge at the Pirates. His versatility and ability to influence games from the wing position make him an invaluable asset to any club wanting to improve its offensive options.
