The Buccaneers’ recent form should not be taken lightly as they will have a say in the destination of the championship title, or, better still, win it themselves, writes Timothy Molobi.

When leading Baroka FC 2-0 with 11 minutes to go, former Orlando Pirates coach Rhulani Mokwena attempted to be expansive and threw in striker Tshegofatso Mabaso for another striker, Gabadinho Mhango.Leading 2-1 against Chippa United and with seven minutes to go last weekend, new coach Josef Zinnbauer sacrificed an attacking player, Thembinkosi Lorch, for the defence-minded Thabiso Monyane.

Under Zinnbauer, Pirates have gone seven games without a loss, going home with a tally of six wins and a draw. This was hardly the case previously. From the outside, it looks like Zinnbauer has given everyone a challenge – to prove themselves at training to earn a place in the team.He might not be a regular, but the former Bloemfontein Celtic defender is the first to jump up from the bench every time a goal is scored.

WATCH | Jomo says Rulani ‘should stay with the German and learn’ at PiratesOrlando Pirates great Jomo Sono has advised his nephew, Rulani Mokwena, to stay on at the Buccaneers and learn from their current head coach Josef Zinnbauer. I agree. It was too early for him at this level not because of age in my opinion. The experience he attained was not sufficient enough to get him there.
