Orlando Pirates mentor Mandla Ncikazi wants the Buccaneers to represent the country well in the CAF Confederation Cup, hoping each and every Mzansi citizen will be a Pirates fan.
Pirates will now face Libyan side Al Ahli Tripoli in the semifinals, this after overcoming Tanzanian side Simba 4-3on penalties at Orlando Stadium on Sunday.
Mamelodi Sundowns’ shock Champions League elimination by Angolan outfit Petro de Luanda on Saturday has left Pirates as SA’s sole representative across the two CAF tournaments. “For me, it’s no longer about teams, it’s about us representing the country. I hope all South Africans will be Pirates supporters when we’re playing the next matches,” Ncikazi said.
