Orlando Pirates FC is reshaping its roster after a famous treble-winning campaign in the previous season, signalling a clear shift in squad planning. Among the exits are Bandile Shandu and Sipho Mbule, both part of the treble-winning side, along with Tshegofatso Mabasa, who left on loan in January. Karim Kimvuidi spent the entire previous season on loan, while Deivi Miguel Vieira (Gilberto) was also away on loan for the full campaign before their departures were finalised. The new arrivals include Sbangani Zulu, Ghampani Lungu, Mthetheleli Mthiyane and Bohale Ngwato, who join to bolster competition across the squad. The club has announced the departure of five players, including Bandile Shandu, Sipho Mbule, Tshegofatso Mabasa, Karim Kimvuidi and Deivi Miguel Vieira (Gilberto). Each of the players departs having contributed to the Orlando Pirates journey in their own way, and the Club would like to place on record its appreciation for their service during their time with the Buccaneers. The club thanks Bandile, Sipho, Tshegofatso, Karim and Gilberto for their service and wishes them all the best in the next chapters of their respective careers.
