Orlando Pirates have seven fixtures left in the league and a Nedbank Cup semi-final on the horizon. Here are all the details you need for your diary.
33-year-old Kermit Erasmus is out of contract at the end of the campaign. ”Romeo’ joined the Buccaneers from Sundowns in September 2022 after feverish speculation linking him with a switch to Kaizer Chiefs. The seasoned striker has spent stints in France, Portugal and the Netherlands before settling back in South Africa. It’s anyone’s bet where he could end up in 2024-25, but it’s unlikely he’ll still be a Buccaneer after a second stint with the Soweto Giants. Other senior players with expiring contracts are Hotto, Richard Ofori, Siyabonga Mpontshane, Thabang Monare and Fortune Makaringe. Meanwhile, Olisa Ndah, Sandile Mthethwa and Zakhele Lepasa also need to renew their terms otherwise they’ll leave for free.
Pirates meet Chippa in the semi-finals for the right to play the winners of Sundowns and Stellenbosch in the final. This clash between Chippa and the Sea Robbers is on 4 May at 15:00.
