Orlando Pirates have recently promoted one of their youngsters from the development structures, Relebohile Ratomo, who has made a strong start to his senior career.

The youngster scored a goal for the senior team in the club's closing DStv Premiership encounter against AmaZulu last weekend. 

As previously reported by the Siya crew, there are no plans to send the 17-year-old on loan, and indications are that he will compete with the likes of Thembinkosi Lorch and Monnapule Saleng for a place in the starting line-up.

Speaking to the Siya crew on the sidelines of the Nedbank Cup press conference held this week, another Bucs development product Thabiso Monyane, has offered advice to Ratomo. 

"He has to remain grounded. That's very important. He has to remain humble no matter what he achieves or how far he goes. It's tough being at the top there and in (the) public eye but if you remain grounded and humble, all is going to go well for him," Monyane said to the Siya crew ahead of the clash against Sekhukhune United this weekend.

"You know, the good thing is that at the beginning of every season, we have the media education on how to handle ourselves. Sis Thandi (Merafe) does a great job in organising people who teach us on how to stay humble and concentrate on football. So Ratomo should remain grounded and humble. He is lucky as there are (many) people around him who will help him as far as that is concerned," Monyane concluded.
