Pirates chasing Ngele

Orlando Pirates are hot on the heels of Mamelodi Sundowns star Mogakolodi Ngele as they have realised they might not land Kaizer Chiefs’ George Lebese.


A source at Pirates has revealed to Phakaaathi that the team is doing all in its power to secure Ngele before the end of the month.

“They want Ngele and have made an offer to Sundowns. He might even be available by Saturday for the Carling Cup,” said the source.

Ngele spent last season at Bidvest Wits where he played a pivotal role in helping the Students to their first Absa Premiership title.

Rumours doing the rounds have also suggested that Sundowns have offered the Buccaneers a chance to sign Asavela Mbekile and Siyanda Zwane who have not been getting enough game time at Chloorkop.
