Pirates' statement on the club's official website reads:

"Lorch appeared before a Disciplinary Committee where he had to recommit to The Pledge.

"The Pledge:  

"At Orlando Pirates, we recognise:

  • That women are the base and children the future of our society.
  • That violence against women and children is like waging a war on ourselves as a nation.
  • "Therefore, at Orlando Pirates we pledge:

    • To be vocal and speak out against violence targeted at women and children.
  • To be exemplary through our deeds and serve as role models.
  • To be supportive to women and children affected by violence.
  • "Like manners once did, violence is now shaping and obsessing our society. If we do not stop it, it will stop us, and our children will have a bleak future.

    "Throughout his suspension period, Lorch demonstrated accountability for his previous actions and took substantial measures to address them. He willingly participated in a clinical evaluation and has committed to follow any recommended follow-up care.
