‘Tso' Vilakazi impressed as Pirates' signings pass big club pressure test
Former Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana striker Benedict 'Tso' Vilakazi was impressed with Oswin Appollis, Sihle Nduli and Sipho Mbule as the trio donned the black and white stripes of the Buccaneers for the first time at the weekend. The trio have inked deals to join the Buccaneers for the first time as Orlando Pirates looked to complete a formidable squad for the 2025-2026 season. Their first task was Polokwane City at home in the MTN8 quarterfinals. New coach Abdeslam Ouaddou started the trio and they had an immediate effect, with Nduli and Mbule dominating the midfield. Less than 15 minutes into the encounter Appollis was on the scoresheet, scoring his maiden goal for Pirates. About 20 minutes later Appollis was fouled in the box, setting the scene for Patrick Maswanganyi's successful penalty. Pirates secured a 2-0 victory, a performance that impressed Vilakazi. More than anything, the former attacking midfielder was impressed with the debutants playing under pressure.
