‘The whole house screamed in jubiation’ – Father of Orlando Pirates youngster

The father of Orlando Pirates youngster Siyabonga Ndlozi expressed how the family were delighted after the 22-year-old forward made his debut.

Ndlozi came on in the second half against Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League match last week which the Buccaneers won 2-1. His father Japan said there was a lot of excitement and disbelief when the youngster took to the field.

“We couldn’t contain ourselves because of the excitement we had. All the people that were in the house screamed in jubilation when we saw him being brought on,” Ndlozi senior told Hollywoodbets Sports Blog.

“There was a lot of excitement and disbelief because he hadn’t really made the matchday squad in the Premier Soccer League games, but we were surprised he was included for that tough game.

“It was unbelievable, even in the community, people were happy and celebrating his achievement. The community congratulated him and the family,” said Ndlozi senior. 

Ndlozi is not the only Orlando Pirates youngster to be making headlines. Mohau Nkota is another young player who impressed the Buccaneer faithful since making his debut. Pirates are in action this Sunday against Richards Bay in the Nedbank Cup round of 32.
