Maswanganyi finishes as Orlando Pirates top pre-season scorer

Patrick Maswanganyi joined Orlando Pirates as a rather surprise signing from SuperSport United.

Management’s faith in him however has been immediately paid off by the 25-year-old winger.

Maswanganyi hit the ground running at the club and ended as the club’s top goal scorer during their pre-season.

His three goals leaves him atop the charts while Relebohile Ratomo and Kabelo Dlamini finished on two goals apiece.

Chippa United coach Morgan Mammila is not losing sleep ahead of his side’s clash against Kaizer Chiefs in next weekend’s DStv Premiership opener.

Molefi Ntseki will take charge of his maiden official game come next weekend after being promoted to head coach at Naturena.

But Mammila is not expecting Ntseki to bring anything new to Kaizer Chiefs.
