The team is joined by former Orlando Pirates captain and defender Edward ‘Magents’ Motale. Motale said skillful Pirates midfielder Patrick Maswanganyi, who has divided opinion because of his showboating, must be allowed to enjoy his football and not be pressured with comparisons to legendary Jomo Sono. Motale speaks about his full confidence in the current Bafana coach Hugo Broos and squad that is in the middle of 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) and 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifiers. He also said time has come for South African football to have a new league champion following dominance by Mamelodi Sundowns and he believes his former team Pirates have what it takes to go all the way.
