MBABANE – It will cost Orlando Pirates supporters E450 to travel to watch the
team take on Kaizer Chiefs in the Soweto derby, billed for October 27 at FNB
Stadium.
The ABSA Premiership League game will kick-off at 3pm. The local fans will leave
on Friday and return home on Sunday. The local supporters’ branch Chairman
Zama Tsabedze said the E450 fee excluded accommodation and the ticket to watch
the match. Tickets for the games are available at Computicket outlets at
Shoprite Stores. Tsabedze urged all interested fans to indicate as early as
possible as they will know the transport that will accommodate all fans wishing
to travel.
Meanwhile, Tsabedze said the local supporters must be ready for the launch of
the local branch.
The local branch is now active and its constitution was adopted and the Chairman
is Zama Tsabedze, with the Vice Chairman being Nkosinamandla Mavuso and Sisana
Sibiya is the Secretary. The local branch is recognised in South Africa by the
Orlando Pirates FC family.
The Chairman, Tsabedze said plans to officially launch the branch were under way
and he urged all ‘Buccaneers’ fans who want to be part of the branch to
contact the organiser Malangeni for more details. Already there are 70
registered members.
“Membership costs a once off seasonal E100 affiliation fee, plus E20 monthly
subscription. Collected funds will be used for our outreach to the needy at the
end of each football season or calendar year. The funds will also subsidise
organised trips to some of our selected games played in South Africa, among
other things,” he said.
