Thulani Hlatshwayo Claims That His Orlando Pirates Move Is Long Overdue! He says that the journey began 6 years ago!
Hlatshwayo’s off the pitch relationship with centre back partner Happy Jele was yet another contributing factor to his switch to the Ghost.
Upon arrival at the club, Hlatshwayo was adamant on disclosing the names of the other PSL clubs that had shown interests in his services out of respect of them and Orlando Pirates; that club that sought after him for years.
“My journey to Pirates started a while ago. Coming from Ajax Cape Town, I was supposed to be signing for Pirates in 2014,” Thulani Hlatshwayo told Pirates TV.
“But because I left Soweto at a young age, I felt coming back I needed to settle first and that’s why I chose to go to Bidvest Wits.
“From then onwards, with us winning trophies – the league, MTN8, Telkom – Pirates kept on knocking on our door but at the time I had a contract with Wits and I was happy in the team, they had taken care of me so I kept on renewing contracts and everything.
“This time I felt it inside me that it was the right time to move to Orlando Pirates.
“Besides feeling like it was time, it’s a team I grew up supporting and I’ve made it public that I grew up supporting the club and that I would love to play in a Soweto Derby one day.”
