This in the hope of strengthening their title charge as they have seen Mamelodi Sundowns overtake them.

In the midfield ranks they have been credited with an interest in Chippa Unitedand Bafana Bafana star Sinoxolo Kwayiba. According to Soccer-Ladumathey are poised to make a formal offer for the 24-year-old.
Kwayiba a big target?
“Pirates are very interested in Sinoxolo Kwayiba but they are not the only club. Sekhukhune United a few other local clubs are also showing interest. For Chippa, the first option would be to sell the player overseas, that’s the aim, but that doesn’t mean they won’t consider local offers. But you must understand that for a club with such plans about selling overseas, Chippa will want to get closer to what they would get from overseas clubs. And this player is young with a bright future ahead of him” said the source to the same publication.
Kwayiba has been a mainstay for Chippa in midfield this season, with his Stellar performances earning a Bafana debut.
