Orlando Pirates announce another signing

Orlando Pirates has announced the club has reached an agreement with Maritzburg United for the services of Karim Kimvuidi.

Recently it was reported that the talented 21-year-old Congolese star could turn down local offers to instead head to MLS outfit DC United.

However, Pirates have continued to make big business moves, and announced the signing on social media on Wednesday.

Just recently it was confirmed that Sphamandla Gumede – from ABC Motsepe League club Dondol Stars – is also set to make a move to the Soweto giants.

The Buccaneers have also swooped in to secure the services of Lesedi Kapinga ahead of the 2023/24 season.

The 28-year-old attacking midfielder, who recently played for Bafana Bafana in the COSAFA Cup, has put pen to paper on a three-year deal.

“I am pleased to join the club,” said Kapinga. “I’m not much of a talker because talk is cheap. All I’m focused on is to start training and working my way back to playing the game I love.”

Earlier this month, Pirates officially welcomed the signings of Sephelo Baloni (Cape Town All Stars), Katlego Otladisa (Marumo Gallants), Melusi Buthelezi (TS Galaxy) and Patrick Maswanganyi (SuperSport United).
