Orlando Pirates legend Teboho Moloi believes that there is no better club for Sipho Mbule like the Buccaneers as the chairman knows how to rein in players like him.
Mbule’s transfer to the Buccaneers has been a subject of conversation especially following reports of his off-field disciplinary issues. The 27-year-old parted ways with Mamelodi Sundowns after his contract expired and his behaviour said to have also played a part.

Moloi told iDiski Times senior writer Matshelane Mamabolo in edition 211 of the newspaper that there have been players in the past with the same challenges as Mbule including himself and former midfielder Jabu Mahlangu (Pule) whom Dr Irvin Khoza guided back to their senses.
The former Chippa United assistant coach added he is actually excited for the former SuperSport United man, and he is going to grow into his best version at Pirates.
“Look at Jabu, he came to Pirates when no one would touch him really,” Moloi told iDiski Times.
“And what happened, the chairman even helped him find himself and his Mahlangu ancestors. Sipho is in good hands. There’s nothing new with Pirates signing a player deemed as troublesome. We were problems ourselves. But the chairman has always proven to be a father before he can put on his chairman hat.
“Starting with the likes of myself and then Jabu [Pule], Cheese [Lebohang Mokoena] and Gift [Leremi], the chairman handled us, and we all produced our best. I am not even concerned about the off-the-field antics that Sipho Mbule is said to have.
“He has joined a club where he will be reined in, and I am truly excited that he found a home where he belongs.”
