Orlando Pirates thumped African giants Al Ahly 3-0 in their African Champions League match in Cairo on Sunday.

Bidvest Wits tried to hold on to former captain Sifiso Myeni, according to coach Roger de Sa, but could not match the Orlando Pirates’ salary offer.

Orlando Pirates and PSL chairperson Irvin Khoza says it may be a good omen for the local Premiership that fewer players are venturing overseas.
