Message to Our Orlando Pirates Soldiers

I'd like to bid our classy players, coach and the entire technical team the best on our game against Esperance Sportive De Tunis.

We stand a real chance of becoming the only team in South Africa and Southern Africa to beat four (4) African giants and ultimately add the second star on our emblem.

You have already beaten Tout Puissant Mazembe, Al Ahly and Zamalek. You still can make it big against Esperance Sportive De Tunis. My plea with you guys is to be more clinical and go for a kill and take no prisoners. It is a do or die tie. You have been put in a crucible and baptized with fire. Go out there and shine like diamonds, let your shine blind your opponents and doomsayers alike.

Up the Champs, Up the Bucs!
