In other related news, the imminent arrival of Thabang Matuludi spells bad news for a certain Orlando Pirates defender.
The Buccaneers are closing in on the star Polokwane City right-back’s signature.
Jose Riveiro already has Deono Van Rooyen, Bandile Shandu and Thabiso Monyane at his disposal.
And now, according to reports, the imminent arrival of Matuludi could mean bad news for Bandile Shandu.
Shandu set for Pirates exit
“For now they want to loan him out since his contract is only expiring in June 2026,” an insider told Soccer Laduma.
“So with that in mind, they want him to go on loan and make the final decision at the end of the season. But after releasing Sandile Mthethwa and loaning out Katlego Otladisa there are few more movements still expected at the club.”
