Tension between Orlando Pirates star Thalente Mbatha and coach Jose Riveiro has been the subject of recent speculation. Mbatha was seen seemingly arguing with Riveiro on the bench after being substituted earlier in the season, leading to rumors about disciplinary issues within the team. Adding fuel to the fire, there have been well-documented problems with another star player, Monnapule Saleng, although the specific details of Saleng's situation remain undisclosed.
However, a source close to the team has denied any significant issues between Mbatha and Riveiro, stating that Mbatha is training and preparing for the upcoming Soweto Derby like any other player. The source also cautioned against reading too much into social media posts, emphasizing that not everything shared online is accurate. This news will be welcomed by Pirates supporters, who are eager to see their team focus on the Soweto Derby without distractions. Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs have made three new signings during the January transfer window. One player who has been linked with both Kaizer Chiefs and Wydad Casablanca is Thembinkosi Lorch, and it appears he is finally moving on from Mamelodi Sundowns
