As predicted by the Siya crew, Nieminen has since confirmed on his official Twitter account that he's officially parted ways with the Buccaneers.
"South Africa and Orlando Pirates thanks for everything. It was an educational and valuable experience. I am so grateful that I got to learn from this unique culture. The journey must continue, but now it's time to rest and reflect. Will be very much needed after 2 years on the road," he said.
