Orlando Pirates: 'From Sundowns to Kaizer Chiefs'
Orlando Pirates have been busier than their rivals, Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns in the PSL transfer window. The Bucs have released 10 players. Meanwhile, Pirates have signed 11 new stars.
Furthermore, they have also had big paperwork done with both Amakhosi and The Brazilians recently. Innocent Maela (Unattached)
Miguel Timm (Unattached)
Paseka Mako (Kaizer Chiefs)
Thabiso Monyane (Kaizer Chiefs)
Phillip Ndlondlo (Unattached)
Monnapule Saleng (Orbit College)
Mohau Nkota (Al Ettifaq)
Azola Tshobeni (Chippa United)

So, both Mako and Monyane have been sold to Chiefs.
Meanwhile, Tshobeni has signed for PSL rivals, Chippa United. He will be joined by former teammate, Mosele who is set to be loaned out to Chippa.
Speaking of loans, Saleng has been loaned to Orbit College. This is one of the most surprising moves of the recent transfer window. Also, Nkota's move to El-Ittifaq is a big one considering that he is the only Bucs star who has signed for another country this transfer window.
However, this could change with reports claiming that Pirates have agreed to sell Mofokeng. Sipho Mbule (Mamelodi Sundowns)
Yanela Mbuthuma (from Richards Bay)
Masindi Nemtajela (Marumo Gallants)
Tshepang Moremi (AmaZulu)
Nkosikhona Ndaba (Richards Bay)

Sihle Nduli (Stellenbosch)
Oswin Appollis (Polokwane City)
Kamogelo Sebelebele (TS Galaxy).
Pirates have signed 11 new players.
10 of them are from PSL rivals. Most noticeably, Mbule joined the Bucs from Sundowns. Meanwhile, they have signed players from the likes of Stellenbosch FC, AmaZulu, Polokwane City, TS Galaxy, Chippa United, Richards Bay, Marumo Gallants and Baroka.

Kaizer Chiefs: New signing and R28.5 million striker
Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach Cedric Kaze has hinted that the club could still make several signings before the transfer window closes in September. So far, Amakhosi have announced seven new signings for this season. Head coach Nasreddine Nabi has assessed most of the new players during the team's pre-season camp in the Netherlands last month. This past weekend, Kaizer Chiefs played their first Betway Premiership match and managed to edge out Stellenbosch FC 2-0 in Athlone to extend their unbeaten run against the Cape side. 'Let me just say that if an opportunity presents itself that is worth it, we will take it,' Kaze said. 'We still have a foreign spot, but we will not fill it up just because of filling it up. 'If an opportunity is worth it we will probably take it,' he added. This week, Kaizer Chiefs announced the signing of former Cape Town Spurs winger Asanele Velebayi. The attacker joined for free following a despute from his previous club. Etiosa Ighodaro has been the subject of transfer speculation, with Chiefs reportedly interested. The Nigerian striker is valued at around R28.5 million by Transfermarkt. Mamelodi Sundowns are not looking to loan him but are prepared to offload him for the right price.
