SuperSport United are looking at the possibility of keeping two players who belong to Orlando Pirates, the Siya crew understands.
Both Siphesihle Ndlovu and Zakhele Lepasa belong to Pirates and a decision will be made on what happens to them beyond the current season, though SuperSport are keen to have them on board.

While it's been reported that Ndlovu left Pirates permanently and signed a one-year deal with SuperSport, the Siya crew has been informed by Matsatsantsa CEO Stan Matthews that the hard working midfielder still belongs to the Buccaneers.
"Ndlovu is a Pirates player," he said in a brief response to the Siya crew.
Ndlovu, who struggled to break into the team at Pirates, has been in good form for SuperSport this season, picking up man of the match awards regularly in recent weeks. SuperSport are determined to keep him on board and it appears discussions are already underway to have him at the club next season.
The former Maritzburg United midfielder has made 20 appearances in all competitions, playing 90 minutes in almost all the matches he has played for the three-time Premiership champions.
Lepasa, meanwhile, joined SuperSport in January and the Tshwane outfit is looking to keep him, though it's unclear at this stage if it would be on loan again or permanently.
