Soweto giants Orlando Pirates are set to introduce a new player before the start of the Betway Premiership season in August.
Masindi Nemtajela, a 23-year-old from Johannesburg’s Soweto, will be unveiled by Orlando Pirates from Marumo Gallants.
Nemtejela, who has played 20 matches in the Premier Soccer League this season, is a holding midfielder who will replace the departed Miguel Timm at the Buccaneers.

“The deal for Masindi Nemtajela is as good as done. It’s actually believed to be a three-year deal. Almost everything is finalised and he is expected to join the team in the pre-season camp. It’s actually the scouts and recruiters who recommended him to the team so it’s not really about who the coach will be. They looked at what he brings to the team which apparently is different from most of the midfielders the club has at the moment. So it’s a three-year deal from July 2025 to June 2028,” an insider told Soccer Laduma.
“The scouts and recruiters were looking at a direct replacement for Timm and Masindi fitted in that area and that’s why they went for him. Now it’s believed that everything is sorted and a three-year deal has been agreed,” an additional source added.
