Thulani Hlatshwayo - It's been a dream for me to play in Soweto derby

By Dumisani Baloyi - Orlando Pirates defender Thulani Hlatshwayo speaks about the desire to play in the Soweto derby.

"For me, the soweto derby has been everything, and I couldn't understand why I'm the number one defender for Bafana but I've never tasted the soweto derby."

"It's been a dream for me to play in the Soweto derby, I really don't mind playing for Chiefs or Pirates, I'm not a fan of both clubs, I'm a player who enjoys or supports the team that I play for, so for the first time I'll be a buccaneer."

"It's good joining a great team of Orlando Pirates magnitude, with a great history in the country and on the continent. Of course the goal is one, win trophies. That's what everyone is here for."

"I'm excited about the fact that I'm going to be in the soweto derby and I can't wait and I pray that i don't succumb to injuries."
