Orlando Pirates winger Oswin Appollis has been linked with a move to an unnamed French club during the January transfer window, according to widespread reports. The potential transfer could prompt the Soweto club to re-sign Mohau Nkota on loan as a replacement. Neither the identity of the French club nor the details of any potential deal have been confirmed, and the reports remain speculative at this stage.

Orlando Pirates have been advised to consider signing a starlet from Kaizer Chiefs as a potential replacement for Relebohile Mofokeng. This suggestion raises the possibility of the 'next Mofokeng' emerging from their rivals, Kaizer Chiefs.

According to The South African, Orlando Pirates news concerns claims that Nkota, Appollis and Ouaddou are owed millions. The item is presented only as Today’s news wrap, so the available text does not specify who owes the money, why it is owed, the exact amounts, any response from Orlando Pirates, or whether the allegation has been independently confirmed.

Orlando Pirates have signed a 23-year-old winger who returns to the Soweto club following a stint with Marumo Gallants, where he impressed last season, according to The South African. The announcement, made on 9 September 2026, strengthens the Buccaneers' attacking options. The player's name and further transfer details were not provided in the available report.

Relebohile Mofokeng's mother has advised him to leave Orlando Pirates and pursue opportunities in Europe, suggesting that the club may be losing time to retain him, according to The South African Sport.

Relebohile Mofokeng had a notable reunion with several of his former teammates from Orlando Pirates on Saturday, marking a special occasion for the players.
