Orlando Pirates Nedbank Cup semifinal hero Sandile Mthethwa has never felt unwanted at the Soweto giants despite being sent out on a few loans for six years.
Mthethwa’s extra time goal in a 2-1 victory over bitter rivals Kaizer Chiefs sent Pirates to the tournament’s final against Sekhukhune United at Pretoria’s Loftus Stadium on Saturday .
He spent a couple of seasons with Richards Bay FC in the Motsepe Foundation Championship and three years with Chippa United in the DStv Premiership. But that thought never crossed Mthethwa’s mind as he always wanted to be part of the Bucs family and he is thrilled the club made two finals in his first season back from loan deals.
“I will never say I saw myself being in two finals with Pirates, but I can say I’ve always wanted to be part of the Orlando Pirates family one day,” Mthethwa said.
