Marawa’s Orlando Pirates/Saleng bombshell drops today?
Robert Marawa says he has the dirt on Orlando Pirates star Monnapule Saleng’s mysterious recent absence.
Marawa to spill the Saleng tea?
51-year-old Robert Marawa said on X: “We have the story but giving the Club their 48hrs to address their fans on the matter. Otherwise, we will.”
Saleng’s last appearance for the club was a goalless draw with Al Ahly in the Caf Champions League group stages in December 2024.
Saleng sizzled in 2022-2023 but has failed to replicate those heights
There’s no doubt World Cup winner Özil enjoyed a stellar career, delighting fans with sublime and subtle touches; he can point to the 2015-2016 Premier League season where he peaked, supplying a stunning 19 assists. Saleng scored 15 and assisted 11 across all competitions in 2022-2023 as he reached his pinnacle. Steady declines for both players followed, however.
When are Orlando Pirates playing their next match?
Pirates were due to Golden Arrows on Wednesday evening at 19:30 but the clash was postponed. Influential midfield general Makhehlene Makhaula will miss Pirates’ next match, against Cape Town City on Saturday 22 Feb, after he picked up a fourth booking of the campaign last time out against Baroka in the Nedbank Cup Round of 16. Kabelo Dlamini started alongside Makhaula against Baroka so he’ll keep his place. Now, head coach Jose Riveiro must decide who will partner with him. The versatile skills of Selaelo Rasebotja could come in handy. Will Mbatha return? Either way, coach Jose Riveiro will be grateful for the depth of options at his disposal. Can he put together a winning combination though?
Will Saleng play for the club again?
