Pirates Supporters – “Ho Tlo Jiwa Batho!”

It’s Orlando Pirates vs Kaizer Chiefs this Saturday at FNB Stadium. This will be the first encounter between the two teams in a Premier Soccer League game at FNB Stadium since the stadium was renovated for the 2010 World Cup.

Chiefs are coming from a surprising 1-0 defeat from Santos, while Pirates left Durban with a point against AmaZulu. The pressure is on for both teams to collect maximum points as a draw won’t be what the supporters will be happy with… as that will open a big gap to their rival Mamelodi Sundowns who are looking unstoppable in the league.

Here are some of the views from Pirates supporters about the Soweto Derby:

“I don't want to talk much about this encounter (Orlando Pirates vs Kaizer Chiefs). I just wanna let my boys do the talking for me on the field of play. I’ll say much after the game because we’ll be parting none stop. Thanx 2 Bucs!” - By Marco Mamphadeni

”Orlando Pirates are taking this home...We're on FIRE. Once a Pirates Always a Pirates!” - By Lelo

“Bhakaniya is going to win the game by 2 goals to nil because chips are meant to be eaten not playing soccer. And to all Kaizer Chiefs fans make sure that your funeral policy is not in arrears coz after the game your loved ones are going to need it... Happy People till we die.” - By Ishmael

“I can't wait for Saturday game. We going to finish what Santos have started by adding another salt on the wound. We taking this derby home by 3 goals to 1 coz we r on FIRE. You can ask Sunflowerz or their neighbours Machantsachantsa a Petoli (SuperSport United). Shapa Bhakaniya Shapa!” - By Chief
