Orlando Pirates have not retired the jersey that was worn by late goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa.

Meyiwa passed away in 2014 after he was gunned down at his girlfriend’s house in Johannesburg. Police are still yet to make any arrests related to the former Bafana Bafana captain’s murder.
Pirates goalkeeper Brighton Mhlongo, who wore number 16 last season, wore number one during the Absa Premiership match against Ajax Cape Town on Tuesday night, much to the surprise of many football supporters.
Bucs administrative official Floyd Mbele has cleared the air regarding the jersey number one at Mayfair.

“The jersey was not retired and hence we saw Brighton Mhlongo wearing jersey number one,” Mbele confirms to KickOff.com.
Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza stated categorically in 2014 that the jersey "would never be worn again" but appears to have changed his stance.
The Soweto giants retired both Lesley Manyathela and Clifford Moleko’s jerseys after they passed away in vehicle accidents.

Following the backlash that trailed her performance at Shatta Wale's Reign Concert over the weekend, Ghanaian singer,  Fantana  has now released a statement.  The singer stated that she is not ashamed of being a woman and also mesntruating. Her statement read in part;  "Regardless of my costume being transparent, my only option was to put on a sanitary pad and still go ahead to perform. I am a woman and I’m not ashamed of menstruating. "I want to urge every woman to resist being discriminated against because of menstruation. I hope some people read wide and learn about menstrual health to stop the stereotype against young girls and women. "Yes my menses appeared 30 minutes to my performance and I had to put on a sanitary pad and still go on stage. "Menstruation is not a shame and I urge all young women take a cue from my actions and not to let it stop them from doing anything they want to do."
