Orlando Pirates captain Thulani Hlatshwayo couldn't have asked for a better start to his time with the Buccaneers, having led them to the 2020 MTN8 title just a few months after arriving at the club.
Pirates beat Bloemfontein Celtic 2-1 in a captivating final at a rainy Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday evening, thanks to goals from Deon Hotto and Thembinkosi Lorch.
Bucs had found themselves on the back foot after conceding as early as the fourth minute. But they bounced back and showed great character to end the club's six-year wait for a trophy.
