The Soweto giants confirmed Nkota's move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq this summer, which means the team will be without one of the key attackers from last season.
The South African youngster was promoted to the first team last season and showed off incredible performance in the Betway Premiership including the CAF Champions League were he scored some important goals for the Buccaneers.
Nkota plays as a right forward and would be a great miss for the Sea Robbers even after they've brought in Oswin Appollis who is preferred position is the left wing like Relebohile Mofokeng.
Monnapule Saleng
Saleng is another right-wing forward being sent packing by the Sea Robbers this summer. The club have enough attackers in their ranks but are short in numbers in terms of right-wingers in their squad.
The South African forward completed a loan move to his former club, Orbit College, a few days ago after being oust from the team since December, 2024.

The Bafana Bafana started last season on a good note scoring decisive goals for the Bucs and also winning games for them, but the relationship between him and the club board got sour and it affected the team's season after good start and the player's confidence as the season goes on.
Paseka Mako
Orlando Pirates might not be done in the transfer market this summer, but will miss the departure of Mako next season.
Mako is a good squad player who brings in his experience anytime he's being called upon, and might be needed to cover up for the regular players in the left back in cup games or friendlies during the season.
The South African fullback would continue his football career at Kaizer Chiefs alongside Thabiso Monyane who also made a switch to the Bucs' city rivals.
