The highest paid players at Orlando Pirates has been revealed, with talisman Monnapule Saleng missing from the list.
While Monnapule Saleng has been a key figure for the Soweto giants, he is notably absent from the list of the highest-paid players in the squad, which come as a surprise to many football fanatics.
Despite being one of the most talked-about players in recent seasons, he is nowhere to be found on the list highest earners at the club. Interest has been raised by this disclosure, particularly in light of his crucial contribution to the team’s recent victories.
According to salarypedia.co.za, the highest-paid player at Orlando Pirates is none other than Deon Hotto. The Namibian winger earns a whopping R500,000 per month, making him the clear leader of the squad in terms of salary. His earnings are nearly five times higher than some of his teammates, reinforcing his status as a key figure for the Buccaneers.
Hotto’s closest competitor in terms of salary is young talent Evidence Makgopa, who is reportedly earning R200,000 per month. Makgopa’s steady play has made him one of the team’s highest earners, highlighting the organization’s dedication to nurturing the next generation of players.
Meanwhile, three players, namely, Goodman Mosele, Zakhele Lepasa, and Innocent Maela are tied on R150,000 a month apiece. While these salaries may be lower than Hotto’s, they still reflect the importance of these players in Orlando Pirates’ plans.
