And now, reports suggest that he has already put pen-to-paper at a new DStv Premiership side!

FORMER ORLANDO PIRATES STAR JOINS CAPE TOWN CITY! – REPORT

“Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Fortune Makaringe has already landed himself a new club after agreeing terms with Cape Town City,” and IDiski Times report read.

Makaringe made just 14 appearances for the Buccaneers last season in all competitions. He managed just one goal and one assist for Jose Riveiro’s side.

It’s important to note that the midfielder was often played out of position by Jose Riveiro last season. The Spanish tactician’s right-back conundrum forced him to field Makaringe in defence.
