South African media personality Andile Ncube believes Yanela Mbuthuma has the talent and potential to succeed at a big club like Orlando Pirates, insisting that the young striker was always destined to play at a higher level.

Ncube has praised Mbuthuma's journey from Richards Bay to the Soweto giants, explaining that the forward had already demonstrated his abilities before securing his move to Pirates.

According to Ncube, Mbuthuma's performances at Richards Bay made it clear that he had the qualities required to compete for a bigger club. The media personality believes the striker's talent made him stand out from his teammates.

"Yanela Mbuthuma was made to play for a big club like Orlando Pirates," Ncube said.

Reflecting on the striker's time at Richards Bay, Ncube explained that he had anticipated the player's departure because of his impressive performances.

He described Mbuthuma as the team's shining light, adding that his ability and contributions suggested he would eventually move to a more prominent club.

Joining Orlando Pirates represents a significant milestone in Mbuthuma's career, although establishing himself at the club will require consistency and determination. The forward must compete for playing time while adapting to the pressure and expectations associated with representing one of South Africa's biggest football teams.

Mbuthuma's progress has also generated discussions about his potential involvement with Bafana Bafana.

Despite questions from some supporters about his position in the Pirates starting line-up, Ncube's remarks suggest that the striker deserves time and support to fulfil his potential.

The challenge for Mbuthuma is now to translate his promise into consistent performances and establish himself as a valuable member of the Buccaneers' squad.
