Despite media reports recently suggesting defender Bongani Sam was on his way out of Orlando Pirates, coach Josef Zinnbauer suggested the left-back has a future at Houghton.
The former Bloemfontein Celtic wing-back made his debut for the Soweto giants in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) last weekend as they downed Highlands Park where he was one of the outstanding performers.
Moreover, the German manager also revealed the 22-year-old Port Elizabeth-born player was not aware he was going to start the clash at Orlando Stadium whilst also praising Paseka Mako.
