Meanwhile, the club have confirmed that Tapelo Xoki and Bandile Shandu will not be fit for tonight’s game.

“The coming weeks could also see Bandile Shandu and Tapelo Xoki return to the matchday squad as they continue to make strides in their preparation,” Orlando Pirates reported.

ARTHUR ZWANE WARNING

AmaZulu FC are preparing for the mighty Orlando Pirates and new co-coach Arthur Zwane has sent an early warning to Sea robbers.

After a 2-1 defeat to Stellenbosch FC in his Carling Knockout debut last week, coach Zwane looks excited to face Orlando Pirates.

“We want our players to play without fear, you can’t be in the Premier League and be afraid to win games,” Zwane said via FARPpost.

“We can beat anybody. Stellenbosch, with the quality team they have, played the final last week and did very well.

“We gave them a thing or two to learn from us too. It was no walk in the park for them.

“When you look at where we’ve come from and where we are now, anyone could have said, ‘No, Stellenbosch is already done.’

“As much as they came through, they had to dig deep for them to get through to the next round,” concluded Zwane.
