Orlando Pirates's Nedbank Cup match winner Terrence Dzvukamanja has commented on his future with the club, which is expected to be finalised in the coming weeks.
As revealed by SuperSport United CEO Stan Matthews a few months ago, Dzvukamanja was close to joining Matsatsantsa during the January transfer window. SuperSport coach Gavin Hunt was keen on having the Zimbabwean forward on board, having worked with him at Bidvest Wits.

SuperSport ended up signing Zakhele Lepasa on loan from the Buccaneers until the end of the season, and their decision to hold onto Dzvukamanja proved to be a master stroke, as he discovered his form at the right time to inspire the Buccaneers to Nedbank Cup success and a second-place finish in the DStv Premiership.
After the Nedbank Cup final at Loftus Stadium on Saturday, the striker commented on his future with the club. His contract is due to expire at the end of June and indications are that there will be an extension, with an announcement said to be made in the coming weeks.
"For that one, I don't have much to say. If you can contact my agent, maybe he can explain a little better than me," he said after scoring a stoppage time winner for the Buccaneers against Sekhukhune United.
Pushed to further comment on the matter on whether he wants to stay with the Buccaneers, he said, "Obvious, boss. Every player wishes to play for this big team. There's also Champions League, so everyone wishes to play for this team.
"It's a big achievement because everyone wants to win. We won two cups in one season, and we finished in second position. For me it's a great achievement and I am very happy for that."
Dzvukamanja only played one match between August and December during the first half of the campaign, but bounced back strongly in the second period with 18 appearances in all competitions. He finished the season with eight goals and two assists, all from the second half of the campaign.

"All is normal. You know when it's a team, it's not only about the individual. When I was not playing, I was supporting the players who were playing and I was pushing them at training as well. I can't say that not playing in the first round was something wrong happening. I was working on my fitness and what the coach wanted, until the coach said, 'I guess now you are ready to play and perform'."
