Many will remember Mahlonoko who made his debut for the Buccaneers at the tender age of 16 in 2018. Unfortunately for the skillful attacking midfielder, he was released by the club two years later.
He later enjoyed stints at Baroka and Pretoria Callies before joining Daine Klate’s Motsepe Foundation Championship side La Masia.
According to reports, Chippa United have been monitoring the 22-year-old and are interested in signing him from La Masia.

“If Orlando Pirates continue having all problems, then we are doing something wrong. I’m busy trying to help my players to win games and score more goals, but I’m not concerned.”
