Collins Makgaka and Wayde Jooste will NOT leave Pirates in this transfer window despite media reports initially claiming that they were on their way out.

Jooste, 30, on the other hand, has featured in 39 competitive matches for Pirates since his arrival from Highlands Park in 2020.

And he was recently linked with a possible move to Chippa United ahead of next season, but Pirates have decided otherwise.
