Pirates confirmed the signing of Makhaula, who had been the captain of Usuthu, on a one-and-a-half-year deal on transfer deadline day. This follows in the footsteps of Tapelo Xoki, who had also been a captain for Usuthu at some point in his career, and Gabadinho Mhango who made the switch from Pirates to Usuthu in June.
According to sources, Pirates midfielder Ben Motshwari’s situation is being monitored by AmaZulu, as his contract with the Buccaneers is set to expire at the end of the season. Talks are ongoing between Pirates and the player’s handlers regarding a new contract, but AmaZulu are closely monitoring the situation with an interest to sign him.
“Pirates and AmaZulu have a good relationship which makes it possible for anything to happen between the two clubs,” said the source.
The transfer window may be closed, but the two clubs could be set for another deal as they look to strengthen their squads for the remainder of the season.
