Bucs to hijack Kaizer Chiefs’ move for Oswin Appollis
“Like I told you (last month), Pirates have had an advantage (over Chiefs) on Appollis because of the good relationship between the two clubs. It’s those kinds of deals between chairman and chairman and you can expect the move to happen in the coming weeks,” said the source.
Sesane’s price tag revealed?
24-year-old central defender Thabiso Sesane has been in exceptional form for his club this season. With Thapelo Xoki and Olisah Ndah injured, the young centre-back has impressed keeping several clean sheets this season. So far, he has played eight league matches for Orlando Pirates this season and has hardly put a foot wrong.
According to Soccer Laduma, the Buccaneers have set a price tag of R25 million on their star.

Initial Montpellier interest
Soccer Laduma reported on interest in Thabiso Sesane from Ligue 1’s relegation strugglers Montpellier. The 24-year-old has become a pillar of the Pirates back four, appearing in all of their eight league encounters this term. In many ways, he’s become the first name of their team sheet. This consistency has earned him Bafana recognition and admirers abroad. How long can the Sea Robbers resist offers for the talented defender?
Pirates chase City playmaker Rhodes
21-year-old Cape Town City playmaker Jaedin Rhodes has featured in 10 games this campaign. He’s bagged two goals and generally caught the eye with his flamboyance, flair and creative skills. Rhodes has 66 City appearances under his belt with eight goals and four assists. The Cape Town City youth product can operate on either flank but his preferred slot is in the number 10 role or ‘the hole’ behind the central striker. He’s certainly a name to watch out for in the 2024-2025 season.
