Zimbabwe Warriors midfielder Daniel Msendami has officially completed a move to South African giants Orlando Pirates, sealing a permanent transfer from Marumo Gallants.
Msendami is one of two players snapped up by the Buccaneers from Gallants, alongside midfielder Mpho Chabatsane, as Pirates continue to bolster their squad ahead of the resumption of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season.
In a statement confirming the double acquisition, Orlando Pirates revealed that agreements had been reached for both players, with the transfers concluded on an immediate and permanent basis. The Soweto-based club also praised Marumo Gallants’ management for handling the negotiations in a professional and cooperative manner.
Following the completion of all required clearances, Msendami and Chabatsane are set to link up with the Pirates squad currently in camp in the North West Province, where preparations are intensifying under the watchful eye of the technical team.
The Buccaneers expressed confidence that both signings will add quality and healthy competition within the squad as domestic football returns.
For Msendami, the move marks a swift step up, having spent just six months at Marumo Gallants before earning a high-profile switch to one of South Africa’s most decorated clubs.
