Zambia sensational trio in Augustine Mulenga, Austin Muwowo and Justin Shonga have been named in the squad which will travel to Zambia to play Choma based side Green Eagles in the preliminaries of CAF Champions League.
Mulenga has so far been one of the standout performer for the Buccaneers after scoring 2 goals in as many games, he opened the scoring in the Soweto derby in the Carling Black Label Cup and then followed it with another goal in the opening match of the season against Bloemfontein Celtic.
Austin Muwowo who is yet to play his debut game, was left out of the squad which played against Celtic but coach Micho Sredojevic has shown faith in the new signing by including him in squad, Shonga will also travel with the team.
Orlando Pirates will face Green Eagles on Saturday, 10 August before hosting them in the return leg on August 23. The match will be played at Nkoloma stadium, Lusaka.
Goalkeepers:
Joris Delle, Siyabonga Mpontshane, Wayne Sandilands.
Defenders:
Asavela Mbekile, Happy Jele, Ntsikelelo Nyauza, Bongani Sam, Innocent Maela, Alfred Ndengane, Mthokozisi Dube, Paseka Mako.

Its going to be tough going for Green Eagles this year in the CAF. They are up against one of the best teams on the continent.
I wish them well.
I feel sorry for Muwowo and Shonga. Muwowo should be trained as left winger defender, he has a good left.
Augustine is a tornado, he can play anywhere!!!
