“I must thank everyone who participated in the negotiations,” Khoza added.
The 30-year-old defender comes with a wealth of experience having made more than 300 appearances and possibly his goal is to form a formidable baseline partnership with his close friend Happy Jele.
For Hotto, 29, it’s been a meteoric rise from turning heads at Bloemfontein Celtic to becoming one of the PSL’s most devastating attacking players at Wits.
The duo will bring great experience and star quality to the Buccaneers and both will also add international experience to an ever-improving squad of Pirates.
