Tshepang Moremi receives lengthy praise from a former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper!

In a recent football discussion, former Orlando Pirates shot-stopper Moeneeb Josephs singled out rising star Tshepang Moremi for particular acclaim, pinpointing what he considers the player's defining and "special" trait.

Josephs reflected on Moremi's journey since his high-profile transfer to the Soweto giants at the dawn of the 2025/26 season. The 25-year-old attacker arrived from AmaZulu FC, where his performances in the Betway Premiership had turned heads. His initial period at Pirates, however, was not without its hurdles, as he faced some early criticism from portions of the club's supporters.

But under the guidance of coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, Moremi has steadily silenced any doubters. He has grown into a key component of the Sea Robbers' squad, amassing 17 appearances and contributing eight goals and a single assist so far.

For Josephs, the secret to Moremi's successful adaptation and flourishing career lies in a specific mindset. He attributes the winger's positive trajectory to what he describes as an "old-school mentality," a quality he believes makes the player truly stand out.

“He has that old-school mentality the old-school winger mentality. If I get the ball, I put my head down, I’m going to go at you, and if I can’t go forward, I’m going to play it basic and play it back. I’m not going to try anything funny,” Josephs said on the SoccerBeat podcast.

He elaborated on Moremi's development, noting, “He is from that old school, you know. When we had him at AmaZulu, he was still raw. But you could see the potential, and now here at Orlando Pirates, he is fulfilling that potential."

Josephs concluded by painting a picture of a straightforward, effective, and uncomplicated player, stating, “You know, he is just that basic winger. If I see space, I want to take you on. If I’m not going to get clever, I’m just going to give it off. He is not one of the fancy players.”
