Several media outlets have been sharing the post on their feeds. Taking to Instagram, Lorch warned Pirates fans ahead of their clash with Mamelodi Sundowns. He posted, “It’s okay. Let them try to destroy me. But the 17th is around the corner.”

Log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns will host Soweto Giants Orlando Pirates on 17 February at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

Lorch made headlines after joining DStv Premier League champions Mamelodi Sundowns. No doubt his move has since thrust him into the top trends. Mamelodi Sundowns beefed up their star-studded squad with several players, including Thembinkosi Lorch.

Lorch’s deadline-day transfer to Sundowns shocked many despite being dubbed Orlando Pirates’ poster boy. Against the backdrop of his move, Lorch lost a huge following across all his social media accounts.

MZANSI REACTS
Fans often troll him on social media. However, he has seemingly made it known that he will prove critics wrong on 17 February. Against his post, fans quickly flooded social media with their two cents.

Some were more than convinced that he wouldn’t play. On the other hand, some fans made it known that he has been talking too much since joining Sundowns.
