Orlando Pirates have named Nkosinathi Sibisi to wear the captain's armband for the 2025-26 season.
The 29-year-old Bafana Bafana player, who joined the Buccaneers from Lamontville Golden Arrows in July 2022, has become a centreback stalwart and leadership figure in his three years at Pirates.
Fellow centrebacks Thapelo Xoki and teenager Mbekezeli Mbokazi were chosen as Sibisi's two vice captains. The three were selected by their teammates in a voting process.
It is truly an honour and privilege to be named captain of this great institution. Its a responsibility I accept and I promise to fulfil the role in the best way I possibly can, Sibisi told Pirates' website.
The club said the position of captain has been vacant since the departure of long-serving defender Innocent Maela.
