Mbule has been making headlines for some time now, due to the uncertainty surrounding his future after a loan spell at Sekhukhune United from Mamelodi Sundowns.
Admittedly, a significant number of Kaizer Chiefs supporters had been calling for his signing at Naturena, which is not unusual, as fans often express their preferred signings for their favourite clubs.
Affectionately known as the 'Master Chef', Mbule and his entourage appear to have quietly cooked up the deal with Pirates behind the scenes.
Notably, this is the second Bucs deal to be concluded under the radar in as many days, with the Buccaneers having announced new coach Abdeslam Ouaddou on Monday.
It had been widely reported that coach Rulani Mokwena was the favourite to take over at Pirates, but the anticipated appointment did not materialise.
Nevertheless, excitement among the Bucs faithful is quite palpable, as the team also gears up for their pre-season tour in Spain.
Mbule is expected to join the squad ahead of fixtures against Bolton Wanderers, Pafos FC, Las Palmas, and Granada, scheduled from 11 to 19 July.
