Speaking to Isolezwe, Ramokadi said it is a no-brainer for Pirates, who reportedly signed SuperSport defender Kegan Johannes, to offer Mbatha a long-term deal.

Ramokadi said:

“For me, he has to play all Pirates games, and he shouldn’t be substituted. He’s made a huge difference in that Pirates midfield since he arrived. He defends, attacks, and doesn’t waste too much time on the ball.”
