The transfer market is heating up ahead of the 2026/27 campaign. Reports indicate that Siwelele FC are targeting Orlando Pirates midfielder Selaelo Rasebotja.
The 25-year-old has endured a challenging spell in Soweto. After joining the Buccaneers on a free transfer in 2024, he has managed only 11 appearances across all competitions. A difficult 2025/26 treble-winning season under Abdeslam Ouaddou saw him completely sidelined by injury.
With new midfield arrivals expected at Pirates, Rasebotja faces a potential drop further down the pecking order. He still has one year remaining on his contract.
A Strategic Move for Both Parties?
According to a report by iDiski Times, the Bloemfontein-based outfit is open to either a loan or a permanent deal.
This interest comes at a crucial time for Siwelele coach Lehlohonolo Seema. The squad requires reinforcement after losing several key figures. Left-back Neo Rapoo and winger Bohlale Ngwato both recently moved to Pirates. Meanwhile, midfielder Gape Moralo joined AmaZulu FC on a free transfer.
Securing a player like Rasebotja could offer the midfielder a fresh start. It would also provide Siwelele with proven top-flight experience. For local football enthusiasts analyzing these squad rotations, tracking these movements is vital for future predictions.
