Sangweni has been in Johannesburg since last week for training with Bidvest Wits. The Students have been keen on adding the player to their roster for the 2017/18 season.
However, the Dondotha-born star has now been signed by the Buccaneers, who are looking to reinforce their squad for next season, after a disappointing 2016/17 PSL campaign.
The 28-year-old midfielder has been a transfer target for Bucs for some time. Having previously played for Mamelodi Sundowns, both Soweto giants, Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, have been after the player's services, although Chippa were reluctant to part ways with him in the past.
