Mbele: Why Orlando Pirates withdrew Khuzwayo from Carling Black Label Cup line-up

Orlando Pirates have explained Brilliant Khuwayo's withdrawal from the 2019 Carling Black Label Cup starting line-up.

The goalkeeper looked set to start for the Buccaneers against his former side, Kaizer Chiefs, on Saturday as he had garnered more votes than Wayne Sandilands, Joris Delle, and Siyabonga Mpontshane.

However, he was withdrawn from the list with Sandilands taking his place in the starting XI.

Pirates' administrative manager Floyd Mbele told Goal that the decision to withdraw Khuzwayo was precautionary.
