The nature of the way business is conducted at Orlando Pirates has always been mystifying because coaches always appear to operate with a sense of either limitations or being remote-controlled in employing their authority.
This maybe explains why Pirates’ former coaches are rarely brave enough to come out into the open to talk about the operations at the club.
None of Owen Da Gama, Ruud Krol, Micho Sredojevic, Eric Tinkler, Julio Leal, Muhsin Ertugral, Roger de Sa, Vladimir Vermezovic or even the late Bibey Mutombo have ever come out in public to detail how they were made to work at Pirates.
The Rockets visit the Mighty Bucs at Orlando Stadium in the DStv Premiership at 17h00.
A win for the Mpumalanga outfit would see them move from position 14 to 11 on the league table, while a draw would take them to 13th.
Last week s 3-0 win over Maritzburg United bagged the former Bafana Bafana coach his first win since joining the club, but the experienced Da Gama does want not to get carried away because of one result. No there s still a lot of hard work, one swallow doesn t make a summer you know, he tells

Former Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach Shaun Bartlett is looking forward to a new challenge after being given the job of Owen da Gama’s right-hand man at TS Galaxy.

Kataza is a chacma baboon who has cast into sharp focus the City of Cape Town s baboon management programme.
He was returned to his Slangkop troop in November, but has failed to integrate.
His new home will be a rehabilitation centre in Limpopo.
Cape Nature has approved permits to export Kataza - the problem chacma baboon - to the Riverside Rehabilitation Centre in Limpopo, where he will join eight other chacma baboons from the Cape Peninsula.
It s understood that Kataza will be captured on Sunday.
The Cape of Good Hope Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) – which launched the application - this week threatened legal action against the City of Cape Town if the Kataza debacle is repeated.
