Orlando Pirates' Nkanyiso Zungu Says His Move Divides His Family

Orlando Pirates' Nkanyiso Zungu Says His Move Divides His Family

Nkanyiso Zungu – a new addition to the Orlando Pirates setup, has revealed how his move to the Soweto giants could be seen as going against his family. 

The 24-year-old midfielder was signed by Pirates from Stellenbosch FC on final day of the January transfer window, and has been yet to make his official debut for the Buccaneers due to injury.

"Excited, enthusiastic and ready to get going. This is a club with a rich history and it's a great pleasure to be a part of the family. I look forward to be a part of Orlando Pirates and aim to leave a positive mark," said Zungu about his move, speaking to Pirates' official website.

"Initially I was shocked, firstly because it came so unexpectedly as the window was about to close and secondly, the magnitude of the Club that was interested in my services. Playing for Pirates has been a childhood dream of mine so you can imagine what went through my mind when the call came through. But having said that, joining is only the start, I need to work hard to build on this and make this opportunity count," he added.

"The interesting thing is that I come from a family of staunch Kaizer Chiefs supporters but as soon as I was old enough to make my own decisions, I went against the grain and chose the Black and White of Pirates. I think I was mainly attracted to their style of play," he concluded.
