Posted on January 5, 2026

MTN8 and Carling Knockout champions Orlando Pirates have parted ways with Sinoxolo Kwayiba.

The Soweto Robbers have confirmed that the 25-year-old has rejoined Chippa United on a permanent deal.

The Gqeberha-born star, who joined the Buccaneers in June, leaves after just four appearances in black and white.

ORLANDO PIRATES ANNOUNCE SINOXOLO KWAYIBA EXIT

The striker-cum-attacking midfielder earned his move to Soweto after seven goals and one assist in 28 games for the Chilli Boys last season.

“Orlando Pirates would like to thank Sinoxolo Kwayiba for his service as he returns to Chippa United FC
on a permanent move,” the note said. “We wish him well,” the club added.

In league football, Kwayiba managed a combined 22 minutes with substitute cameos against Marumo Gallants and Mamelodi Sundowns, respectively.

Two further appearances came in both the MTN8 and Carling Knockout against Sundowns and Richards Bay FC.

The former Pretoria Callies striker faced stiff competition both in the striker and attacking midfield roles. In the frontline, coach Abdeslam Ouaddou opted for the likes of Evidence Makgopa, Yanela Mbuthuma and Boitumelo Radiopane.

In attacking midfield, the competition included Sipho Mbule, Patrick Maswanganyi, Kabelo Dlamini and Relebohile Mofokeng.

Meanwhile, the 1995 African champions have announced Andre De Jong from Stellenbosch FC.
