According to the source, Motshwari has signed a pre-contract with the Buccaneers following long discussions between the parties.
“It is what I heard, and now with the way things are going, it is clear that he is leaving,” said the source.
“He is no longer getting game time, and I know most people are not happy with the fact that he is leaving. But the boy felt like he needed a change of scenario in his career, and this move will help him grow as a player.”
Motshwari has long been on the wanted list of Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, as Phakaaathi previously reported. But it seems Bucs have won the race for his signature.
