With Thabang Monare currently on national duty at the Africa Cup of Nations, he could have more good news coming his way before the end of the season at his club side, Orlando Pirates.

The Embalenhle-born star came on as a second-half substitute for Sphephelo Sithole last Sunday as the national team defeated Namibia 4-0 at the Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium for his first appearance in this year’s Afcon.
