Orlando Pirates caretaker coach Rulani Mokwena has pledged his loyalty to the Buccaneers, whether he is appointed head coach on a full-time basis or not.

The 32-year-old took over the coaching duties after Milutin Sredojevic abruptly parted ways with the club last month.

However, Mokwena is yet to taste victory since his appointment as the Buccaneers are currently on a six-game winless run in all competitions.

Speaking to the media ahead of their clash with the Chili Boys, Mokwena said: ‘I think Pirates is a club that values certain principles.

‘I try not to speak about myself a lot because this position is like being in an army and having to serve. You complain after, you ask questions after.

‘I could have been at Bafana Bafana, but didn’t go. I had job offers to go somewhere else to be a head coach, but I didn’t go – for Pirates.

‘If you speak about loyalty and serving, then the actions themselves should speak. It’s not for me to speak about looking over my shoulder.

‘I am at Orlando Pirates until the club says I can no longer be here.’

Orlando Pirates will be hoping to end their six-game winless run when they host Chippa United in their Absa Premiership clash on Saturday.
