Saleng’s Agent Breaks Silence on Orlando Pirates Rumours and Loan Move

Monnapule Saleng’s agent has stepped forward to clarify months of speculation surrounding the winger’s absence from Orlando Pirates’ line-up and alleged links to Egyptian giants Al Ahly. Karabo Tshabuse, who represents the 27-year-old, insists the reports of financial disputes and transfer interest were completely unfounded.

Loan Move to Orbit College Marks Fresh Start

After a turbulent eight months away from the spotlight, Saleng recently secured a loan move to Betway Premiership newcomers Orbit College for the remainder of the season. Tshabuse believes this opportunity will help the winger regain his form and confidence, both on and off the field.

“Last season, Saleng’s mental fitness didn’t match his physical condition. My role as an agent is to protect my client, not explain every absence in the media,” Tshabuse said. “Sometimes it’s better to pause rather than speculate, because the narrative online can be damaging.”

Al Ahly Rumours Debunked

Addressing the swirling rumours linking Saleng to Al Ahly, Tshabuse was equally clear: “There was no offer. The player had no intention of leaving Pirates. The club supported him well, and even helped him make personal investments. The supposed move to Egypt was never on the table.”

While many PSL players dream of a European move, Tshabuse emphasized that Saleng’s priority was always Pirates.

Monnapule Saleng: A Chance to Reignite His Career

The agent sees the loan to Orbit College as a strategic step to put the winger back on track. “This is about reigniting his career. We want Saleng to perform at his best and show his true potential once again,” she added.

With the spotlight now on his comeback, Saleng is determined to put the off-field distractions behind him. His time at Orbit College offers a chance to rebuild momentum, regain confidence, and remind the PSL of the impact he can make when fully focused.
