Mabasa was snubbed by South Africa but continues to shine for Orlando Pirates
Meanwhile, 28-year-old Tshegofatso Mabasa is now 14 goals away from equalling Benedict Vilakazi’s all-time goals tally of 58 for Pirates. The clinical marksman bagged 16 goals in the league last term across 26 matches; 10 of those strikes were for Piraes and six for Swallows. The 26 outings were evenly split between the Soweto sides. Now a fully-fledged Buccaneer, Mabasa will be keen to continue his scoring ways and get back into the South African setup. He’s been excluded from the latest group to face Lesotho and Benin. Also, he’s just signed a new deal with American apparel brand Under Armour. That’ll certainly soften some of the blow.
