Orlando Pirates may be set for a squad reshuffle at the end of the campaign, with as many as five players facing uncertain futures.
The Buccaneers have enjoyed an impressive season, already securing two trophies.
While a historic treble remains mathematically possible, their title hopes hinge on Mamelodi Sundowns, who are just a point behind with a game in hand and six fixtures remaining.
With changes expected ahead of next season, several fringe players could be shown the door.
Kabelo Dlamini
The attacking midfielder has struggled for consistent game time this season. With his contract set to expire in June, a departure looks likely. Dlamini has previously been linked with rivals Kaizer Chiefs.
Orlando Pirates bought close to 15 players this season
Bandile Shandu
Shandu has fallen down the pecking order, with players like Kamohelo Sebelebele, Deano van Rooyen and Thabiso Lebitso preferred in his position. The 31-year-old right-back has featured sparingly, casting doubt over his future at the club.
Tshegofatso Mabasa
Currently on loan at Stellenbosch FC, Mabasa appears unlikely to return to Orlando Pirates. With his contract also expiring in June, the striker is expected to move on permanently.
Boitumelo Radiopane
Radiopane has yet to make a significant impact since breaking into the first team. The young striker could be offloaded as Pirates look to strengthen their attacking options.
Tapelo Xoki
The experienced defender has not featured this season following a serious car accident late last year. Although he has been working towards recovery, his contract situation suggests the club may opt against extending his stay.
With a crucial off-season approaching, Orlando Pirates are expected to make key decisions as they aim to build on an already successful campaign.
