Orlando Pirates have reshaped their squad by confirming the departures of three players, with Gomolemo Khoto and Siyabonga Ndlozi moving to Sekhukhune United on permanent deals, while Tshepho Mashiloane returns to the same club on a season-long loan. Khoto, a 22-year-old winger regarded as one of the Buccaneers’ most promising academy graduates, developed through the club’s youth system before impressing in the DStv Diski Challenge with his fearless attacking play and cultured left foot. After a loan spell with Orbit College in 2023, he continued his growth in the Motsepe Foundation Championship and helped the club earn promotion to the Betway Premiership, with his match‑deciding ability drawing comparisons to Monnapule Saleng.
Ndlozi, 23, also departs permanently after establishing himself as a dependable defender capable of playing across the back four
