Letter to the transfer listed and released Orlando Pirates players

It is undoubtedly very disturbing for you to be listed as the unneeded players in the Orlando Pirates squad and with due respect, I share with you the sadness and bitterness but truthfully none of you was a regular lately and it was a good blessings for your careers to start over elsewhere.

Dikgang Mabalane

“I really have a huge respect for you as you played your professional player role very well with less or no bad news being written of you by the media which makes you one of the fewest or the Luckiest as we all know South African media in the relation to bad news…good luck with your future end overs man.”

Lizo Mjempu

“You are one of the talented players who I am not so convinced were good enough for the Buccaneers taking consideration the number of chances you were given but pity you couldn’t stamp your authority…good luck in searching for a new team… hopefully Mvela Golden League teams are eyeing you as I think you are too good for Vodacom League teams”

Talatou Boubacar

“I really haven’t seen you play at all which suggest you are either not good enough or just a practice match material as an exceptional player would have at least won himself few substitute appearances so I predict you are going back home.”

Njabulo Manqana

“You are one of the players who are said to be very talented but the fact that Pirates signed you from the bench at Arrows worried me and the fact that Pirates released you without utilizing you removes a doubt in me that you are overrated as I don’t really know you but I am sorry. I predict that you will be wearing a jersey number 00 at no team just like Jury Merahe who experienced the same fate as you. At least you have a league medal unlike other players in the Premier Soccer League”

Chiukepo Msowoya

“You were very lucky not to be released ahead of Ezenwa Otorogu back then as I bet you failed in the Premier Soccer League in general. Just consider going back home as I have a feeling Tuks won’t sign you as whispered my sources.”

Lucas Thwala

“Look Around… eish I am short of words to you Sir, but I know you are an exceptional player who shined in our drought era contributing nothing significant as far as success is concerned at Bucs so like I said, it is sad to see your back as you leave… good luck”

Overall I urge you all not to let your bitterness force you to slam Bucs in the media as that may be your downfall if you really hope to proceed with your careers. I hope the money you will be paid as a result of being transferred as well as signing of fees can be enough to help you pay the debts you may have made hoping your good contracts with Pirates was going to run through so avoid debts next time.
