Premier Soccer League side AmaZulu FC have confirmed Tshepang Moremi's move to Orlando Pirates despite strong interest from Kaizer Chiefs in the player.

The South African international was linked with several clubs in the Premier Soccer League, with the Glamour Boys being one of the teams showing interest in him.

Several players have been confirmed to be joining the Buccaneers, while some are also mentioned to be leaving at the end of their contracts, including Thabiso Monyane and Paseka Mako, who are reportedly joining Kaizer Chiefs.

AmaZulu FC confirm Moremi's move to Pirates

AmaZulu President Sandile Zungu released an official statement to confirm some of the players leaving the club, and part of it confirmed that Moremi would be joining Pirates after the Sea Robbers acquired the rights to Moremi.

“AmaZulu FC can also confirm that an offer from Orlando Pirates FC to acquire the rights to midfielder Tshepang Moremi has been accepted,” the statement reads.

“We wish Tshepang all the best as he embarks on a new chapter in his career.”

Moremi had a relatively good 2024-25 season with Usuthu under former Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane. He scored four goals and provided seven assists, making 11 goal contributions in 31 appearances across all competitions.

The 24-year-old signed a three-year contract with the Soweto giants, which also comes with an option to extend by a further two years, depending on his performance.

The South African midfielder's move to Pirates sparked different reactions from fans on social media.
