Orlando Pirates have received a huge boost ahead of the MTN8 final at Mbombela Stadium this Saturday.
Star midfielder Patrick “Tito” Maswanganyi has shaken off the knock that kept him out of the Bafana Bafana squad and is available for selection.
Maswanganyi picked up the injury just before the international break, forcing him to miss Bafana’s qualifiers. His absence opened the door for Orlando Pirates teammate Sipho Mbule, who impressed against Lesotho.

The Tembisa-born star is ready to step on the green grass this weekend, as confirmed by coach Abdeslam Ouaddou.
“If you can see him on the pitch, it means the medical department give him the green light to be there,” Ouaddou told media.
“I am happy that he is coming back. It seems not to be so serious. All the time when my players are injured, I am very sad. So, I am happy that he is with us,” the Orlando Pirates mentor added.
