Orlando Pirates have confirmed that they have reached an agreement for the transfer of long-serving striker Thamsanqa Gabuza and Kudakwashe Mahachi to SuperSport United.

Gabuza is set to part ways with the Buccaneers after spending six seasons at the club and is set to join Tshwane outfit SuperSport United.

Meanwhile, Pirates also confirmed that Matsatsantsa are set to receive midfielder Kudakwashe Mahachi, who will part ways with Pirates after failing to prove his worth in his debut season at the club.

The Soweto giants released the following statement on the departure of both Gabuza and Mahachi:

‘Orlando Pirates Football Club has reached an agreement with SuperSport United for the services of Kudakwashe Mahachi and Thamsanqa Gabuza.

‘Orlando Pirates Football Club would like to thank SuperSport United for the professional manner that these negotiations were held.’

Speaking on his departure, former Bafana Bafana international Gabuza said: ‘I would like to thank the entire Orlando Pirates family for all they have done for me during my stay here. I leave here with a lot of wonderful memories and lifelong friendships.

‘I would like to also especially thank the Chairman for the father figure role he has played in my life.’
