Have a look at how Mzansi reacted to the recent piece of business by the Buccaneers.
We are on an unstoppable mission

Waste of talent, Pirates will dish them out after a season or two, just like Thabiso Monyane and Paseka Mako, while they are still on form – C-rame
We're already playing beautiful football, so that's not the goal. The goal is the league and nothing less – Monare
We are on an unstoppable mission to claim all available trophies this coming season. Up the Bucs – Remiazania
We always do this every season; we sign a lot of players! This season we only needed a left-back, two wingers, and a central midfielder; all players are just surplus from my point of view. In two or three years, we will release them again – Siyabulela Nhlumayo
Orlando Pirates will never dethrone Mamelodi Sundowns with such average signings – Cello
Kaizer Chiefs, look at what our neighbours are doing

Useless signings! Those signings are not better than what we have at the moment. This will not improve our team, only Oswin Appolis and Fawaaz Basadien will make me believe that we want to compete, not these useless signings – Hellyboy Vhimba
Midfielder Sipho Mbule was announced alone, when you are big, you are big – Bradley Hallo
Now, we start preparing for the new season. We have signed players early. Coach early. Pre-season is about to start. Our season has started. We will win everything – StefanoDimera
What's the use of signing because you're always number two to Sundowns? This club is a joke, shame – Kingdom
Kaizer Chiefs, look at what our neighbours are doing. Are you guys waiting for New Year's Eve or something? – Mandilakhe Dlula
