Orlando Pirates MDC Striker Luthuli Sets New Goals for Himself!

Orlando Pirates MDC Striker Luthuli Sets New Goals for Himself!  In an interview with the club, Sifiso “Dube” Luthuli expressed his desire to do extremely well in the upcoming MDC season.

“Last season was a good season for both me and the team,” Luthuli told the club website.

“I managed 14 goals in 20 matches, however I believe I could have scored more in the remaining matches that could have seen us close the gap on top and eventually become overall winners.

“I can’t say I am happy or sad at how the league ended,” he added, in reference to the suspension of the league due to the lockdown.

“We were closing the gap on Bidvest Wits and anything was possible at that point, I would have liked to see the overall winners of the MDC, but the health and safety of our people is more important.”

Luthuli is inspired by the likes of Tshegofatso Mabasa and Zakhele Lerato Lepasa, who he grew up watching playing in the MDC.

The same people are now regular starters and goal scorers for the Orlando Pirates first team in the DSTV Premiership.

“It’s amazing to see two of my role models in ‘Zakes’ (Lepasa) and Mabasa (Tshegofatso) do so well in the senior team, they are scoring important goals for the club.

I used to play against ‘Zakes’ when I was still in U17’s. It strikes me how he turns the defenders around with so much composure especially inside the box.

“Mabasa as well, I used to watch him score for the Bloemfontein Celtic MDC team that saw him become the league’s leading scorer in the 2016/17 season- now he is scoring here at Orlando Pirates.

“Both of them give me hope on what is possible in the future but for now my immediate goal is to contribute in a positive way for my team in the Diski Challenge, starting with our big game against SuperSport United over the weekend.”
