Bucs stars make strong impression with snazzy corporate-event looks

With Orlando Pirates boasting a big-money deal with smart device manufacturers OPPO, their players often have to look suave and differential at these corporate events. Here's a look at how Deon Hotto, Fortune Makaringe, and company dressed up at the most recent function. 

The story

This week, Makaringe revealed some really cool snaps of him and his teammates at a corporate function with their sponsor OPPO South Africa. Alongside him were Hotto, Vincent Pule, and former Bucs captain Happy Jele, who remains without a club after being released by the Orlando outfit. 

The group looked quite classy in their blazers and shirts, while Jele opted for a more laid-back look, comprising of a white golfer t-shirt and black sneakers.

Although Makaringe's lush Dior oxford shoes were the ultimate eye-catcher, Pule edged his teammates in terms of the overall outfit. The 30-year-old winger rocked a light-coloured one-button double-breasted blazer, with black trousers and a crew-neck t-shirt, and completed the attire with a classy pair of loafers.

Something worth noting

It seems pretty unfortunate that many players in the twilight years of their careers struggle to find new clubs in the DStv Premiership. In past seasons, we've seen the likes of Siphiwe Tshabalala, George Lebese, and even Hlompho Kekana struggling to secure new homes after leaving their former employers.

Jele appears to be an example of this trend, with the likes of Pule Ekstein also being one of the free agents. The reasons for this are probably debatable, as some teams in the Mzansi topflight most-likely cannot afford the big salaries that some of these stars were on. While another reason could be the simple fact that their quality may have dropped, although they still have a lot to offer.
