This week it’s @SkhunjulweLanga’s turn to share with us about on our #OPFCSF weekly fan column. He’s from Gugulethu, Cape Town in the Western Cape. Let’s see what he has to say.


Hola Ghost... Great to have you today... Let's get down to it... Describe your character to us?

Cool guy, shy-nyana… addicted to sport, especially football, no European footy, strictly African. Ja, they say slimkat is crazy? Wait until you meet me.


When did you start supporting Orlando Pirates?

2001/02 season… December 15, 2001 – Kaizer Chiefs 0-3 Orlando Pirates


Who is your favourite player at the club, in current squad and of all time?

All time its Mark Fish & Eddie Motale, love it when they refer to Pirates, they say “we”… and in the current squad its Rooi Mahamutsa, his eyes ndoda hahaha… he was born same day as my late dad, October 26.


What's been your best and your worst Orlando Pirates performance?

The best? December 15, 2001. I have so much respect for Benedict Vilakazi, Kaizer Chiefs’ Brian Baloyi knows him well. Bucs ran riot as they won the derby 3-0, the day I became a Buccaneer.

Worst… that 2010/11 Telkom Knockout Final 3-0 loss Ghost… still hurts nanamhlanje.


What's the best place to watch the team and why?

Stadium… Cape Town Stadium and Athlone Stadium haven’t watched the team outside Cape Town…


How many Orlando Pirates’ replicas do you own?

Nine fam…


Are you happy with the players' commitment to the team?

Very! We’re scoring for fun… Coach Tinkler gives everyone chances and it’s up to them to grab with both hands, like Fire7 Ndoro did. I’m happy that he allows abo Rakhale and Qalinge, not forgetting Myeni to express themselves. That’s why you see numbers ebaleni.


What changes would you like to see in the club?

Communication between the fans and the club please. Our Twitter account is an ornament. Never replies to us. Whoever tweets for @Orlando_Pirates?? I give them 0/10, we need constant updates.

Which areas do you think urgently needs reinforcements?

Defence… Defence… Defence!!! We’re conceding silly goals. I’d love to see Chippa United’s James Okwuosa and that boy from Mitchells Plain at Ajax Cape Town, Abbubaker Mobara… then we’ll be sorted.


Where do you see Orlando Pirates finish on the log at the end of the season?

I believe Kaizer Chiefs are not a threat to Orlando Pirates, they’ll be below us very soon but Platinum Stars and Mpumalanga Black Aces are, I need that 3rd spot… they’ll finish third Ghost.

What message would you like to send to the team?

Bafethu, we’re almost there. We’ve had a bumpy season but things are looking up now. Let’s finish on a high; we’re behind you all the way… Once & Always


What message would you like to send to the fans?

Ghosts, the team is finally on song… Let’s repay them by attending home games. It means a lot to them

You're member of the Bucs' supporter’s branch? Tell us more.

Yes fam… I recently joined Orlando Pirates Greater Gugulethu Supporters Branch. This past Sunday we were at Orlando Pirates Milnerton’s Supporters Branch relaunch… it was epic; it was just Pirates Pirates and more Pirates. This weekend we’re in Fish Hoek.
