Kaizer Chiefs were bossing us

Orlando Pirates winger Kamogelo Sebelebele has expressed huge disappointment following a share of the spoils in the Soweto Derby against rivals Kaizer Chiefs at FNB Stadium.

“Eish, today’s game did not go as we had expected or how we wanted it to be,” he opened up to Orlando Pirates TV.

“The opponent [Chiefs] came to defend and they were bossing us, and unfortunately we didn’t get the result we wanted.

Pirates see a Khuliso Mudau in Chiefs’ product

Football agent Nimrod Mbhalati has explained why Orlando Pirates decided to secure the services of former Kaizer Chiefs starlet Vusisizwe Mtshali.

Mtshali had originally joined Chiefs’ Under-19 side in 2024 from Remember Elite Sports Academy [RESA] but parted ways with the Glamour Boys earlier this year.

“We have a group of players that we train around Soweto with the aim of getting them teams, so we affiliated with the Pirates Cup, which took place during the Easter holidays,” Mbhalati told FARPost.

“We spoke to a few scouts to check on our boys, and that’s how the deal came about for him to sign with Pirates. When he joined Pirates, he didn’t have a team but was training with Nida Sports Academy after parting ways with the Kaizer Chiefs U-19 team.

“It will benefit the boy so much because look at how many players have been promoted from the reserves to the first team. Orlando Pirates believes in young stars, and he has the potential to be one of the best.

“I see Khuliso Mudau in him because he’s very comfortable on the ball, and it’s not easy to beat him in one-on-one situations. He’s a leader of note, and he was our captain during the Pirates Cup tournament. So, he’s basically one for the future.”
