After signing a contract extension during the off-season, the midfielder struggled to break into the starting lineup under coach Jose Riveiro.

"AmaZulu have concluded a deal with Orlando Pirates and former Bidvest Wits midfielder, Ben Motshwari for the remainder of the season with an option to renew at the of the campaign," read the statement.

The club president Sandile Zungu also expressed his excitement in Motshwari joining the club.

"We welcome Ben into the team and trust that he will settle in well and make a good contribution to Pablo Franco's side."

The midfielder joined the Buccaneers from the now-defunct Bidvest Wits in 2018 and made 133 appearances in all competitions for the club.
