News reaching the Siya crew is that Orlando Pirates look set to promote one of the club's youngsters from the Diski Challenge side. 

Sources have revealed that Mohau Nkota has been a standout performer for the reserve side and indications are that the club is understood to be in discussions regarding a senior team contract for the winger.

The 17-year-old hails from Kimberley and has been knocking on the first team door after some stellar performances in the DDC, playing an integral role for the side during this campaign. 

"What I can tell you is that Nkota has been offered a contract by the club. They want to effect the deal in July once the Diski Challenge season is over," a source revealed to the Siya crew.

"At the beginning of the current season him and (Radiopane) were supposed to be sent on loan but only Radiopane went and Nkota remained at the club. He has done very well under Joseph Makhanya and they are fighting for the league title. So next season he will be promoted to the senior team and that's why he has been offered a senior team four-year contract. He hasn't signed yet but all is in order and once the season is over he will start preseason with the senior team," the source said.

The Siya crew reached out to Pirates, but attempts proved futile.
