Orlando Pirates legend Happy Jele has opened up on his relationship with the Buccaneers.
Jele left the club last season before eventually joining Royal AM on a short term deal.
However his departure isn’t the end of his relationship with Dr Irvin Khoza and the Buccaneers.

Jele eager on Orlando Pirates return once he retires
“I think they are waiting for me because when we had talks with the team, I said I wanted to go and play. And they gave me the blessing saying ‘go and finish’.” Jele told IOL.
“They also told me that once I feel like I am done, I can come back, the door is still open. So, when my days are over, I’ll go there (to Orlando Pirates) and see what happens. If the offer is no longer there, I’ll have to find another way.”
In other news, interest is pouring in for an Orlando Pirates attacker who’s set to leave the club.
The Ghanaian attacker joined the Buccaneers in 2021 from King Faisal FC. Despite scoring nine goals in his opening season at the club, Peprah was shipped out on loan to Maritzburg United.
Peprah struggled to impress at Maritzburg United who are on the brink of getting relegated to the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
There is some good news though for Peprah with Tanzanian giants Azam FC and Young Africans both interested in signing him!
