‘Orlando Pirates fumbled; Mabasa’s crime was breaking Tso’s record but Mbule is useless! Thanks you Lebitso’

Orlando Pirates confirmed massive changes to their squad as they prepare for the new season.

The newly crowned Premier Soccer League champions opted to bring in Mthetheleli Mthiyane (Stellenbosch FC), Sbangani Zulu (Richards Bay), as well as Bohale Ngwato and Ghampani Lungu (both from Siwelele).

However, the Buccaneers parted ways with Thabitso Lebitso, Bandile Shandu, Sipho Mbule, Tshegofatso Mabasa, Karim Kimvuidi and Deivi Miguel Vieira (Gilberto) following the conclusion of their contracts.

Have a look at what the club’s supporters felt as compiled by Afrik-Foot.

This is sad to accept!

Tshegofatso Mabasa’s only crime is that he was on course to become the club’s all-time leading goalscorer and surpass Benedict Tso Vilakazi –  Mthuthuzeli Gasa

Even if Mabasa goes to Kaizer Chiefs, he will forever remain my top striker. He knows where the goal post is –  Senzo Mthulisi Shabangu 

A plumber is a plumber! Jose Riveiro worked tirelessly to build a club, and someone is destroying it. All the best, Sniper – Andile Mnqobi Mdunge

I like Yanela Mbuthuma as a fan, but please tell him to start training on how to score.  Yes, a striker can’t score every time he gets the ball, but Mbuthuma is too much – Ayanda Mbo

This is a sad one to accept. I had high hopes when we signed Sipho Mbule, but it didn’t work out – Samora Madolo

Mbule is going to Siwelele and will score against Pirates

Mbule is going to Siwelele, and he is going to score against Pirates in a crucial game – Rofhiwa Mudau

Let Mbule go and do his useless 360 turns with George Matlou in their backyard. That’s what they do best – Lebese Mpho

Thank you, Thabitso, won’t forget those moments you were helping us behind the scenes and in the field, one of your best games was against Kaizer Chiefs, that cracker of yours – Messi Junior

They are not released but rather deployed. They will come in handy next season when we need them against Mamelodi Sundowns – Cuma Ntangana

Irvin Khoza and the gang fumbled. They had it all wrong, letting Lebitso go. I’d start him over van Rooyen any day – Dintwe Daniel Mabale
