Former Orlando Pirates winger Tlou Segolela has challenged the Soweto giants to target another CAF Champions League triumph and add a second star to their club badge.
Segolela believes the time has come for Pirates to strengthen their continental legacy by winning Africa's most prestigious club competition for the second time in their history.
The Buccaneers remain one of South Africa's most recognised football institutions, with a proud history of domestic and continental achievements. However, securing another Champions League title would represent a significant milestone for the club and its supporters.
Pirates have previously lifted the continental trophy, but their supporters have continued to hope for another successful campaign that would bring further recognition to the club's name.
Segolela's comments reflect the expectations surrounding the Soweto giants, particularly given their reputation and ambitions in African football. Winning the competition again would not only add another major honour to their trophy cabinet but also strengthen their position among the continent's established clubs.
The former winger's message also places attention on the responsibility facing the current squad and technical team. Competing successfully in the CAF Champions League requires consistency, quality and the ability to perform against some of Africa's strongest teams.
For Pirates, the challenge is to turn their continental ambitions into results and build a team capable of sustaining a serious title challenge.
Segolela's call will likely resonate with supporters who want to see the club return to the top of African football and celebrate another historic achievement.
A second Champions League crown would be a major accomplishment for the Buccaneers, but achieving it will require strong performances throughout the competition.
