Orlando Pirates vice-captain Tapelo Xoki says the team is firmly focused as they prepare for the MTN8 final.

The Buccaneers are set to face Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 final when the two sides meet at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.

Pirates will be looking to successfully defend their top-eight title and secure their fifth straight trophy in the competition.

Xoki believes every player in the dressing room is ready to give 100% and contribute to the Buccaneers’ pursuit of another trophy.

“So, for a while, it’s a great feeling. But now, we are playing a final. It’s not really about me.

“It’s about the team. It’s about every one of us being ready and being ready to contribute to the team.

“And I’m sure every guy that is in the changing room is ready and willing to put in their 100% for the Cup.”
