The future of ex-Orlando Pirates man Mohau Nkota is a big talking point. The latest rumours suggest that Kaizer Chiefs are keen to sign the winger.
Kaizer Chiefs enter the race for Nkota?
According to Soccer Laduma, the future of former Orlando Pirates winger Mohao Nkota has taken a fresh new twist with Kaizer Chiefs throwing their name into the hat. Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq were initially keen to loan Nkota back to Orlando Pirates, but they’ve reconsidered. Nkota’s 2025-26 season in the SPL has been underwhelming, with two goals and three assists in 17 outings.
Meanwhile, according to Alyaum, Ettifaq are studying other options, including interest from Portuguese giants Benfica.
Orlando Pirates drop precious points in the title race
The Sea Robbers drew had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Siwelele on Saturday afternoon, meaning they could only stretch their lead at the summit of the Betway Premiership to a single point. Sundowns then got their side of the bargain done, beating Gallants 3-1 to take a two-point lead at the summit. Ex-Orlando Pirates star Vincent Pule opened the scoring, assisted by former Kaizer Chiefs winger Tebogo Potsane. Tshepang Moremi scored the Sea Robbers equaliser. Next up for Pirates is a trip to TS Galaxy on Sunday, 22 March, with kickoff at 15:30. The match will be aired on DStv Channel 202.
