Mkhalele on how Jele and Hlatshwayo can work for Orlando Pirates

The retired midfielder shared his views after the Buccaneers officially announced the former Clever Boys defender’s arrival

Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Helman Mkhalele has urged skipper Happy Jele and new defender Thulani Hlatshwayo to prioritize a professional approach and not bank on their friendship to forge a partnership.

The Buccaneers announced the signing of the ex-Bidvest Wits skipper on Monday, and the retired midfielder also hailed the signing of winger Deon Hotto, saying he will boost the attacking options.

‘Midnight Express’ also explained why the experienced centre-backs can't afford to focus on their partnership alone, because coach Josef Zinnbauer can still decide on a different partnership at the back.
