The Buccaneers have strengthened their squad by signing a forward and an attacking midfielder
Orlando Pirates has confirmed the signing of Terrance Dzvukamanja and Collins Makgaka.
Dzvukamanja and Makgaka joined the Buccaneers after parting ways with Bidvest Wits and Baroka FC, respectively.
Zimbabwean international Dzvukamanja has decided to follow in the footsteps of his former teammates Thulani Hlatshwayo and Deon Hotto, after Wits sold his PSL status to Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila.
The pirates issued the following statement on Wednesday afternoon, revealing the duration of Dzvukamanja’s contract:
“Following the announcement of the signing of Thulani Hlatshwayo and Deon Hotto Kavendji on Monday, the club is pleased to announce two more additions before the start of the 2020/21 season,” a statement from the club read.
“Terrence Dzvukamanja and Collins Makgaka have joined the club. Dzvukamanja has put pen to paper, having agreed to a three-year contract with the Buccaneers.”
Dzvukamanja spent two seasons with Wits, scoring seven goals in 44 league appearances, and joined the club from Zimbabwean team Ngezi Platinum in August 2018.
The 26-year-old left-hander was linked to Mamelodi Sundowns, but the Pirates have signed him ever since.
The Buccaneers did not disclose the length of Makgaga’s contract, after the attacking midfielder helped Baroka secure promotion to the elite league in 2016.
“Meanwhile, Makgaka joins the club from Baroka FC. The 24-year-old is an exciting attacking midfielder who spent five seasons with Bakgakga,” read a separate statement.
Makgaga is delighted to have secured a great move against the Soweto giants, who will be under pressure to win trophies in the 2019/20 campaign.
“I am pleased to have joined the Orlando Pirates Football Club. I hope to reward the team for the faith they have shown in me, ”he said.
Makgaka was part of the Baroka team that stunned the Pirates in the 2018 Telkom Knockout Cup final, when he entered the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium as a substitute.
The Pirates are busy beefing up their squad ahead of next season, which is expected to start the month.
