Pirates show interest in Baroka defender

Orlando Pirates are said to be closely monitoring Baroka FC's central defender, Bonginkosi Makume as they look to fortify their defence which has been a weak link in the team this season.


“They seem very interested and I believe the negotiations between the two sides have already started and a deal could be reached for him to make a switch in January. I think Pirates will offer another defender, possibly (Justice) Chabalala to sweeten the deal,” said a source close to the player.
