Orlando Pirates winger Kamogelo Sebelebele has already set his sights on lifting silverware after producing another standout performance in the MTN8 semi-final.
The 23-year-old scored again as the Buccaneers fought back from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Mamelodi Sundowns in Tshwane, before sealing a 4-1 victory in the penalty shootout.
That goal marked Sebelebele’s third strike in three consecutive matches for Orlando Pirates, with two Man of the Match awards in the same run.

“I want to start off by thanking God for the opportunity, for the talent and the coach for trusting me and giving me the opportunity to play for Orlando Pirates,” the former TS Galaxy forward said.
“This game wasn’t easy. We started slow. We didn’t execute the plan the way we had planned.
“But half-time we spoke in the changeroom and also the guys who got off the bench helped us with the energy. All-round, we’re a team whether it’s on or off the pitch. We need everyone,” he added.

“I’m looking forward to the final. My second final professionally. And I need a gold medal obviously,” the Orlando Pirates makeshift right-back added.
“We’re going to make the fans happy as they come in numbers. We always have to make them happy.”
Meanwhile, the MTN8 final is set for 13 September. Orlando Pirates will face Stellies after they beat Sekhuekhune United 3-1 on aggregate to reach a second consecutive Wafa Wafa final.
The two sides met in the 2024 final where the Buccaneers snatched a 3-1 victory.
