Following their Nedbank Cup final victory over Wits on Saturday, May 17, at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, a picture of Orlando Pirates players celebrating in the change room showers naked with the Nedbank Cup trophy has been leaked.
The picture has been doing the rounds on social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter and Facebook since last night.
It depicts several members of the Bucs squad posing nude with the trophy which has caused much controversy with various Pirates players showing their disapproval on Twitter.
Various tweets from supporters and followers of Orlando Pirates have suggested dissatisfaction towards the picture:

"@Pirates1stlady: Eish! "@Doc_Ndumo: Mpho Makola so disappointed at the #trending Zuma-Nedbank Shower pic pic.

The Siya crew has been trying to get hold of Orlando Pirates for an official statement, but efforts have proved futile thus far as officials have not been responding to any calls.
Pirates are yet to saying anything on the matter, but Soccer Laduma will keep a close eye on the matter.
Thandani 'Bibo' Ntshumayelo who allegedly posted the picture, has since taken to Twitter to apologise, saying, "I would like to apologize to everyone the club the sponsors and all the people for posting that picture on instagram..."At the time i thought it was a joke sorry to my teamates... I sincerely apologize....bibo."
