After weeks of speculation, Orlando Pirates recently confirmed the signings of Yanela Mbuthuma (from Richards Bay), Masindi Nemtajela (Marumo Gallants), Tshepang Moremi (Amazulu), Nkosikhona Ndaba (Richards Bay), Sinoxolo Kwayiba (Chippa United), Tshepo Mashiloane (Baroka), and Sihle Nduli (Stellenbosch).
The Buccaneers have now welcomed talented youngster Oswin Appollis, who has been a key performer for Polokwane City since 2023, which has also led to several appearances with Bafana Bafana over the last couple of years.
The 23-year-old now becomes the eighth new signing for the Soweto giants.
ORLANDO PIRATES WELCOMED APPOLLIS BELOW:
Last week, Pirates marked the first step of the 2025/2026 season for both the current and the new crop of players – as they underwent the first day of pre-season screenings.
The day included a series of medical and physical assessments, which saw club doctors and performance staff guide the players through baseline tests and evaluations.
Following the tests – the new players were taken through an induction process that all new players undergo.
The new signings had the opportunity to interact with some of the club legends such as Edward Motale, Lucky Lekgwathi, Happy Jele, and other legends. This was coupled with a series of visits to key club sits and places around town.
