Makusu: We can win trophies
Orlando Pirates forward Jean-Marc Makusu believes his side can challenge for every trophy on offer this season.
The 28-year-old joined the Buccaneers on a season-long loan deal from AS Vita Club of DR Congo last month.
However, Makusu is yet to make his official debut for the Sea Robbers debut for the club this season.
The DR Congo international has urged the clubs supporters to be patient with him as he works toward earning his place in the Buccaneers first team.
‘I started my career at New Bel Or and then went with the national team for [African Nations Championship] Chan that we played in South Africa in 2014,’ Makusu told Pirates TV.
‘After that, I went to Standard de Liege in Belgium and then went back to my country where I played for several years.
‘[I] went to Egypt and then I came back home again and now I am here in South Africa.
