The Buccaneers took to their social media pages to share a video of their newly signed stars and Azola Matrose receiving a welcome tour to the club.

Not only did they get a better understanding of the Buccaneers' culture, it's rich history and the community, the induction tour gave them a good idea on what it means to represent on of the Africa's biggest football institutions.

The players were taken the club's landmarks in Soweto, they viewed the ins and outs of the club's home ground, and viewed the clubs timeline dating back from 1937.

"We learned a lot about the club, and we are able to know what we are expected to do. We know what it means, the message is written on the walls and we read them to know what it takes to represent Orlando Pirates," says Maswanganyi who joined the Sea Robbers from SuperSport United.
