The pirate from Soweto

Pirates confusion. The Mpumalanga SAPS has confirmed it has arrested an Orlando Pirates player for possessing an unlicensed gun. Eish! Was it for defensive use or counter attack?

The men in blue confirmed that the player and 5 others were arrested in Mbombela and that they found a gun and 13 bullets in the player’s BMW during a regular stop and search police operation.

BMW, gun, bullets. Sounds like a rap video. In Mbombela... was the player going on target practising in Kruger park?

Or just a confused local pirate with Somali aspirations? It’s the admiration for the Soweto’s team’s flag that got the player confused with the pirates from the high seas. Education remains a challenge in SA!
