Latest from Orlando Pirates, including Olisa Ndah’s next move, Fadlu Davids destination after exit from North Africa revealed, and more.

What next for Olisa Ndah?

Former Orlando Pirates and Stellenbosch defender Olisa Ndah is considering his options locally and abroad.

The 28-year-old is on the lookout for a new home following his departure from Stellenbosch. He had joined the Cape Winelands outfit in February on a short-term deal.

The player’s representative Mike Makaab has confirmed that the agency ProSport International is exploring a few options.

“We are looking at options both in South Africa and abroad, in the Middle East and North Africa,” Makaab informs Soccer Laduma.

“It’s still early days but there is interest.”

The lanky centre-back has been in South Africa since 2021, when he arrived at Pirates from Akwa United.

He went on to play 81 matches for the Buccaneers during his four-and-a-half-years with the club.

New challenge for Fadlu Davids

Former Orlando Pirates, Simba SC and Raja Club Athletic coach Fadlu Davids is in talks with Tanzanian giants Young Africans for their head coach role.

“Young Africans have approached Davids for the head coach role ahead of the new season. Timu ya Wananchi already tabled an offer to Davids, leaving the ball in his court,” iDiski Times reported.

Davids was with Simba SC in the 2024/25 season and finished the campaign just four points behind Young Africans, missing out on the league title on the final day of the season when Yanga beat Simba to secure the silverware.

However, he has been widely praised for his work with Simba, reviving the squad and turning them into title contenders again, with Davids’ side also reaching the CAF Confederation Cup final where they lost to RS Berkane.

Young Africans started the season with Portuguese manager Pedro Gonçalves. He was appointed in late 2025 following a stint by Romain Folz. But currently Abdihamid Moallin – the club’s technical director – is in charge as interim coach.

Yanga are currently sitting top of the NBC Premier League, they need a draw in their last game to secure their 27th league title. They will face sixth-placed JKT Tanzania away from home in their last league game.
