Moloi said their generation delivered the Top 8 trophy at Pirates, and so was the generation after them which included the likes of Thabo Mngomeni.

And for that reason, Moloi said as the stalwarts of the club, they don’t want to negotiate with the current generation of Pirates players whom he said should go to Durban and return to Gauteng with the MTN8 trophy.

“No, we don’t even want to negotiate that, Pirates must win the final,” said Moloi.

“These boys need to be told the history of Pirates in the top eight. We have won this trophy many times even during my generation.”

“The likes of Thabo Mngomeni came and won it. So, we are not going to negotiate with these boys. They must just go out there on Saturday and win that trophy,” added Moloi.
