According to a source, Linda Mntambo, Bongani Sam, Asavela Mbekile, Tebogo Tlolane, and Zakhele Lepasa will be sent to the Chilli Boys to get game time.
“There are talks between Chippa and Pirates for these players to go to PE on loan and those talks are going well. Some of these players have already played for Chippa and did well for them, so it will be like going back home for them,” said the source.
Chippa and Pirates have over the years exchanged players and the Chilli Boys currently have players like Sandile Mthethwa and Tercious Malepe on loan from Bucs on their books.
Pirates sign Tlolane from Chippa at the beginning of the season.
