Having previously done deals with Gallants for Miguel Timm and Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo last year, the Soweto giants are believed to be willing to pursue the signature of Chivaviro whose three goals in the 3-1 win over Chippa United last night moved him up to 14 goals in all competitions for the season.
"Ranga from Marumo Gallants is being monitored by Pirates and there's interest to sign him for next season," confirmed the source.
"However, the player is also being monitored by Richards Bay. In fact, there is a possibility that there must be an agreement already in place for the player to move to KZN next season," concluded the source.
