Motsepe Foundation Championship side Midlands Wanderers FC have announced their signings for the January transfer window, with two Orlando Pirates youngsters headlining the recruits.
The KZN-based side has announced the arrival of two Pirates midfielders, Sonwabo Khumalo and Lungelo Dondolo, while also snapping up former Mamelodi Sundowns attacker Keabetswe Ramotsei on a free transfer.
Other players that have signed for Wanderers include Thulani Mini, Sisanda Mbhele, Knowledge Myeni, and Mbulelo Nombengula as they look to make a strong finish to the second round of the season.
The two Pirates midfielders, Khumalo and Dondolo, are joining Midlands Wanderers from the Pirates feeder team in the ABC Motsepe League. Meanwhile, Ramotsei is arriving on a free transfer after his short stint with Chippa United.
The former Sundowns DStv Diski Challenge star signed with Chippa at the start of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season, but his contract was terminated after a few months into the new season.
