Moroka Swallows head coach, Steve Komphela has spoken on the recent form of Orlando Pirates goalkeeper, Sipho Chaine.

Chaine is having a stellar season with the Buccaneers and led them to victory in the recent MTN 8 final at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.

Pirates defeated Mamelodi Sundowns 3-1 in the penalty shootout, with Chaine putting up a Man of the Match performance by saving three attempts.

Komphela, in a recent interview, claimed he is not surprised by the recent performance of Chaine for the Buccaneers and disclosed what he told him previously, according to a report by iDiskiTimes:

"We were playing the Macufe Cup against [Kaizer] Chiefs at Vodacom Park [now Toyota Stadium], I told him straight, I still remember vividly the tights he was wearing, he was more colourful and all that, at the Vodacom Stadium I said to him, ‘you are going places, my friend’.

"And what happened over the weekend, it is only astonishing for those who don’t follow the game," Komphela added.

Chaine has been a constant member of Jose Riveiro's starting lineup for the Buccaneers and it is not looking likely to change anytime soon due to his form.

Orlando Pirates will be in action again next Tuesday in the DStv Premiership when they take on Amazulu in Durban.
