Orlando Pirates have moved decisively in the transfer window, confirming the arrivals of Mthetheleli Mthiyane, Sbangani Zulu, Bohlale Ngwato and Ghampani Lungu to bolster their squad for the 2026/27 season. The quartet, announced on the club’s official website after weeks of speculation, offers the technical team fresh options across the pitch. If the Buccaneers field their strongest available side, the starting XI could feature Sipho Chaine in goal behind a back four of Kamohelo Sebelebele, new signing Sbangani Zulu, Lebone Seema and Deon Hotto. In midfield, Mthetheleli Mthiyane is set to partner Thalente Mbatha, while Relebohile Mofokeng operates in the attacking midfield role. Further forward, Oswin Appollis is tipped to start on the left wing, with Bohlale Ngwato on the opposite flank and Ghampani Lungu leading the line. The inclusion of four new faces represents a major refresh as the Soweto giants prepare to challenge on multiple fronts, including the CAF Champions League.
Orlando Pirates’ transfer business may not be over yet. Reports suggest the Soweto giants have already secured two additional signings, although official confirmation is still pending. The names include Siyanda N
