Orlando Pirates find their Saleng replacement
Orlando Pirates have had to deal with ongoing drama regarding their mercurial winger, Monnapule Saleng. 27-year-old Saleng hasn't played for the Sea Robbers this calendar year. Tshepang Moremi from AmaZulu is a prime target. According to SABC Sport, Pirates are closing in on 24-year-old Tshepang Moremi from AmaZulu. 'SABC Sport has established that Orlando Pirates are pushing to sign winger Tshepang Moremi from AmaZulu, with discussions believed to be advanced and a deal now likely,' the report said. 'It's understood these talks are progressing with ease given the history between the two sides with previous deals during the transfer window as well as the mutual respect that exists among the two clubs,' Molefe added. Paseka Mako, Miguel Timm and Thabiso Monyane are no longer with the Sea Robbers. As a result, numbers 29, 4 and 2 are available to be handed to new signings. Most Buccaneers fans will remember that jersey number 4 once belonged to the great Happy Jele. Who's got big enough footsteps to fill it next? According to Goal, Monnapule Saleng's salary isn't among the very highest in the PSL. It's in the region of R70,000, or R280,000 a month. It's not shabby, but it means he's not in the top percentile of earners in South Africa.

Orlando Pirates find 'the new Tlou Segolela'
Orlando Pirates need to bolster their wide attacking options, with continued talk that Monnapule Saleng will leave the club. Tshepang Moremi is seen as a good option. Pirates want rotation options to avoid burnout for Mohau Nkota. 24-year-old AmaZulu winger Tshepang Moremi enjoyed a productive 2024-2025 campaign. He made 28 league appearances for Usuthu, scoring three goals and assisting seven. He's got pace and directness to burn. Pirates fans will remember another speed merchant, Tlou 'Gautrain' Segolela, who Moremi isn't dissimilar to. 'SABC Sport has established that Orlando Pirates are pushing to sign winger Tshepang Moremi from AmaZulu, with discussions believed to be advanced and a deal now likely,' the report said. 'It's understood these talks are progressing with ease given the history between the two sides with previous deals during the transfer window as well as the mutual respect that exists among the two clubs,' Molefe added. What is there to know about 23-year-old Tshepho Mashiloane? Well, the versatile defender can operate at right-back or in central midfield. This will be a considerable boost for the Pirates technical team; although they have a strong squad at their disposal, both full-back positions are relatively weak spots after the release of Thabiso Monyane and Mako. With experience in the second tier, it's also hoped that he's ready for a battle. Click for a full profile Tshepho Mashiloane in action for Baroka FC in the Motsepe Foundation Championship. Image: IOL Orlando Pirates have moved quickly to secure a replacement for the departed Miguel Timm. 23-year-old Masindi 'Confidence' Nemtajela is the man. The all-action schemer made 17 appearances for Gallants in the league last season, scoring once, supplying two assists and picking up four bookings. Click for the story Is Moremi the real deal?

Orlando Pirates to beat Kaizer Chiefs for talented PSL winger
Orlando Pirates are in pole position to secure the services of AmaZulu winger Tshepang Moremi. The 24-year-old talented forward was also in the books of Soweto rivals Kaizer Chiefs. This week, Soccer Laduma reported that the Buccaneers had secure a three year deal with the KwaZulu-Natal based talent. With Pirates likely to lose Relebohile Mofokeng in the next transfer period, it makes sense for the Sea Robbers to look for a replacement. 'We can say that this Orlando Pirates and Moremi deal is as good as done,' an insider told Soccer Laduma . Yes, it's believed that Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs were also interested in him but Pirates have apparently won this race. It's as good as done at the moment,' the insider added. The second source told the publication that the winger has penned a three-year deal with Orlando Pirates. 'Apparently it's a three-year contract. All the involved parties have agreed to a three-year contract. It's believed that all the personal terms between the player and the team have also been agreed. That's why Moremi's Pirates move is as good as done.' Another winger set to part ways with Orlando Pirates is Monnapule Saleng. The 27-year-old attacker hasn't kicked a ball for the Buccaneers since December.
