Orlando Pirates taking a closer look at Witbank Spurs Humphrey Khoza

Pirates looking at First Div. defender

Posted: 2011-07-03 16:41

Soon after signing Siyabonga Sangweni from Golden Arrows to strengthen their defence, Orlando Pirates have now set their sights in bringing in defender Humphrey Khoza from Witbank Spurs.

The highly rated defender, who was also on Platinum Stars most-wanted list, is set to begin full-time training with Bucs on Monday, where he will get the chance to impress new coach Julio Leal.

Khoza was among other Bucs trialists that appeared in the black-and-white during the Ubuntu Calabash match against Zimbabwe's Dynamos at Rand Stadium  yesterday.

Also appearing for Pirates in the charity match were new recruits David 'Anelka' Fakude and Njabulo Ntusi from University of Pretoria.

Spurs spokesperson Thabo Morape confirmed that his team has given Khoza permission to go on trial at Pirates.

"This shows that at Spurs we don't stand in players' ways if want to persue their careers somewhere else, especially when it's a move to big clubs like Orlando Pirates."

Nkanyim : 2011-07-03 17:06

hehehe how many defenders will be signed by this team kanti, I hear they also want Mabizela...is he related to Khoza...???...if yes, then Puppet Leal will have no choice but to sign him...!!!

cpati bhakajuju chauke : 2011-07-03 17:26

Now m getting tired of ds defenders. How many defenders r we going to sign kanti????we need strikers man we dnt need defenders anymore,haikhona

Sputlaldihno : 2011-07-03 18:29

The Donkeys r signing many defenders cos Another promising defender was drunk n drove straight under a donkey in Orlando 2day n died like other stupid Donkeys eg Clifford Moleko, Leremi, Mandla Sithole.

mlu: 2011-07-03 18:35

This will be a good signing from the same team that brought us Rooi Mahamutsa. They still owe us for we loaned them Ralph Matema, their captain. It's payback time boys, now we will grab their much sought after defender. Khoza is an MBA in football admin. Mp. Aces (NOT sPURS, I AM NOT BLIND) will also not sign Craig Roslee until he has appeared before the Colonel.

figoro: 2011-07-03 18:45

HEY NOT ANATHA DEFENDER MANN HAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.WHE AR TH GUNMEN

Sputlaldihno : 2011-07-03 18:51

Clifford Moleko,Lesley Manyathela,Gift Leremi n this Ratau boy killed themselves by suicide bombs when they were abt 2 meet a certain team n Khoza covers that by saying it was a car crash. What abt Zodwa n Swize?

The SPCA, an organisation protecting animal cruelty has reported that ever since Pirates won the league, the raping of pigs in Orlando has gone down by 55%. I want 2 to take this opportunity 2 salute the Bucs fans.

Totalfootball : 2011-07-03 19:36

Oh no man,Sputladihno,of course this is not your real name but as Motlokoa has put it,only a satanist will talk like that.it doesn't matter whether you support Chiefs or Pirates but your manners matters the most!
You must apologise to the family of Kamogelo Ratau & everyone or else you shall die & be eaten by the birds of the sky & you will suffer preceeding to your death!

Miya kwenza : 2011-07-03 19:41

thando : 2011-07-03 19:58

It said that some chiefs supporters are still disillusioned and think that pirates is signing players to stop the so so flop strikers forgetting that pirates are triple cup champions and they should actually be worrying about their team and plead with Bobby to sign talent ayike ukujonga imali yelifa (his father's inheritance)then and only then can they start winning things up the bucs!

Enock : 2011-07-03 19:58

All hail the ghost and everyone who is participating in recent signings,Bucs fans brace yourselves with a nu look,Bhakabhaka for life &death.

You are out of order my brother.
Don't behave like the two donkies(Tivani and Superbrand).
That's unhuman. There is no need for us to come to Kickoff.com when we are drunk.
I'm glad that you apologised.
We are here in the name of soccer.

Sputlaldihno : 2011-07-03 22:19

Thank u All Psl Trophies. I always learn from u. I had a bit of castle light but that's not an excuse. Am sorry 2 Ratau friends n family. Ke kgopela tshwarelo.

Muzi : 2011-07-04 06:23

Bucs is most unlucky when it comes 2 injuries n suspensions 2 key players @ crubial moments. I dnt blame khoza 4 all these defenders. We need more versatile back players. As 4 strikers, we may reinforce bt wer 0 that thin. Plus bucs is known 2 hv defenders n midflds who can bang them in.

glenzitto : 2011-07-04 08:34

chiefs have a motoung in da playing squad n now pie lerete are copying us.we are trendsetters indeed soon sunbaboons will sign a motsepe.chiefs lead.

Naked News : 2011-07-04 09:18

This boy's so ugly he looks like a lizard. No wonder he's joining Pirates, the trendsetters when it comes 2 ugly players. Remember Sikhosana nd Mkhalele?

Polipoli (The Pie-rats fan): 2011-07-04 09:37

ey The Terrible Champions are desperate to "defend" the championship. passop you dont only collect 30 points and break the record of getting relegated without loosing a game. PLAYED 30 WON 0 LOST 0 DRAW 30 GA 0 GF 0 GD 0 Points 30.

thabo: 2011-07-04 09:54

Breaking News! PAC is looking for leads to their stolend flag, the rumour has it that they suspecting that part of it was used on Chiefs kit...

Damn chiefs kit is so ugly actualy it looks like they want to use it to hipnotyze other teams...

I am not even sure it is a complete kit, maybe this is only a demo, a finished product will follow soon.

Tzozo: 2011-07-04 10:15

This guy luks very much lyk Gerald Raphahlela. Another cow joining the Galaxy of cows.

Swona Champ!: 2011-07-04 10:36
