Today's Orlando Pirates news wrap looks at a tricky upcoming fixture and some mixed responses to Sipho Mbule's stint so far. Pirates can take themselves to the summit of the Betway Premiership by winning their two games in hand before Sundowns play next. Will Mbule play a vital role?

The report conducted in September 2023 according to the IMF reveals that major institutions, including the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) and the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), routinely receive less than half of the budget approved for them by Parliament. As a result, the agencies responsible for investigating corruption, prosecuting financial crimes, safeguarding public funds and protecting whistleblowers are operating without the basic resources needed to function. The report points out that although budgetary allocations are approved annually, actual releases from the Ministry of Finance fall far below those figures " leaving institutions unable to…...
