The 21-year-old was reportedly close to signing for the Buccaneers but no move materialised
Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye feels if Evidence Makgopa could not sign for Orlando Pirates, then he is not good enough to participate in Bafana Bafana’s 2022 Fifa World Cup qualification campaign.
Makgopa made his senior national team debut in June, grabbing a brace in an international friendly match against Uganda, amid reported interest from Pirates.
The lanky forward then went to the Tokyo Olympic Games with the national Under-23s and came back with a goal to his name as his profile continued to rise after also being named the Premier Soccer League Young Player of the season last term.
