Adding to that list are players the club did not make formal announcements of, which are Cebo Mchunu, a 21-year-old midfielder they signed from Bizana Pondo in the ABC Motsepe League. That was not their only purchase from the third division, however, as Dondol Stars confirmed they have released goalkeeper Siphamandla Gumede to Pirates on Monday. Both players are believed to be on the loan list, with the Buccaneers management looking to park them at either a club in the DStv Premiership or the Motsepe Foundation Championship for next season.

Nkanyiso Zungu, Ndumiso Mabena, Kopano Thuntsane and Collins Makgaka. Martin has already signed for Chippa United, while Zungu played for Royal AM in the recent KZN Premier’s Cup, where he continues in his efforts to impress the coach. Mabena is thought to be on the radar of Polokwane City while Makgaka is thought to be close to joining Stellenbosch FC. Now Mosele has since joined that list, with Pirates confirming that the player has been loaned to the Chilli Boys.

With the new signings in midfield, coupled with the struggles for the last season it was probably in the best interest of both Mosele and Pirates for the midfielder to go on loan to Chippa.
