Orlando Pirates attacking midfielder, Patrick Maswanganyi is celebration his 26th birthday today and in light of that, we look at some of his best moments of the season so far.
"Tito" has been a standout in Jose Riveiro's side this campaign, making a seamless transition from SuperSport United to the Soweto giants.
Let's take a closer look at some of his goals, skills and moments of leadership...
Maswanganyi's best bits
Patrick Maswanganyi has been one the standout performers in the DStv Premiership and has become a perennial Man of the Match winner with his magical skills and important goals contributions.
The fleet-footed playmaker is one of the first names on Jose Riveiro's team sheets for a reason, he has the ability to take the game at the scruff of the neck and create something out of nothing.
"Tito" who is also known as "Cash in Transit" or "iAmbulance yaseTembisa" enjoys playing his own brand of Kasi Flava, keeping opposition defenders on their toes and fans on their feet or glued to their screens.
In yesterday's Original Soweto Derby clash, Maswanganyi walked away with the Man of the Match award after rescuing a point for the Buccaneers with an early second-half goal.

The 26-year-old baller has produced many other dazzling moments over the course of his memorable first season at Bucs.
His six goals and 12 assists in all competitions has led to Hugo Broos calling him up for Bafana Bafana's FIFA Series friendlies last month, with many dubbing him as the ideal replacement for Mamelodi Sundowns' Themba Zwane.
Here's a look at Maswanganyi at his best this season:

Maswanganyi also makes his voice head in the change room and his passionate speech during the half-time break in March's Soweto Derby put his leadership qualities in the spotlight.
The baller backed up his talk in that second half against Chiefs, as he bagged an assist and orchestrated much of Pirates' attacks and added a dash of skills to wow both sets of fans.
Have your say on Patrick Maswanganyi's debut season at Bucs...
