He exited the club alongside Craig Martin, Nkanyiso Zungu and Ndumiso Mabena among others. <\/p>\n<p>Orlando Pirates has two trophies to defend and Jose Riveiro has a plan set out to defend it as he released players and signed new additions with Makgaka not forming part of Riveiro\u2019s plans. <\/p>\n<p>After his departure from the Buccaneers, Makgaka ended up at Stellenbosch FC where he enjoyed a trial run which proved to be unsuccessful with the Cape winelands side opting against signing him. <\/p>\n<p>With Junior Mendieta completing the move to Mamelodi Sundowns in the transfer window, Stellenbosch FC was looking for that replacement in the midfield, but Makgaka was not the one. <\/p>\n<p>Makgaka eventually ended up at AmaZulu FC where he tried his luck with the Durban-based outfit, but it now seems, that Usuthu has not been impressed by the 27-year-old former Baroka FC midfielder. <\/p>\n<p>According to a source, Makgaka could not impress AmaZulu FC\u2019s new head coach Pablo Franco Martin, therefore the club will not be signing him in the transfer window. <\/p>\n<p>Makgaka failed make a mark at the Buccaneers since he joined them in 2028 from Baroka FC. However, he did feature in a staggering 24 matches last season and was part of the club\u2019s MTN8 title winning squad. <\/p>\n<p>With the transfer window still open, hopefully he can still manage to find a new club before its too late. Since he\u2019s a free agent, Makgaka is unaffected by the transfer window and can sign with any club at any time. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/efcd300b612f405f97fc918de72ea317\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ghDq6RY16L\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/farpost.co.za\/2023\/08\/14\/amazulu-fc-decide-against-signing-released-pirates-midfielder\/\">AmaZulu FC decide against signing released Pirates midfielder<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u201cAmaZulu FC decide against signing released Pirates midfielder\u201d \u2014 FARPost\" src=\"https:\/\/farpost.co.za\/2023\/08\/14\/amazulu-fc-decide-against-signing-released-pirates-midfielder\/embed\/#?secret=ugG3sVYAyq#?secret=ghDq6RY16L\" data-secret=\"ghDq6RY16L\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Amakhosi-Insider (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
