Oupa Manyisa

Manyisa joined Orlando Pirates in 2008 due to being scouted, he immediately impressed the coaching staff. "Ace", as he is known as in the football pitch, had a great 2010/11 season forming one of the best midfield partnership with Andile Jali. In that season he helped Pirates win the first-ever domestic Treble in PSL history. Oupa scored the only goal which was a cracker outside the 18-yard area against bitter rivals Kaizer Chiefs in the final of the MTN8 which he scored in extra time. Their stellar partnership proved to be good again when they won another domestic treble. Oupa has enjoyed good football from then being a force to be reckoned in the Pirates starting line-up. Ace holds the record of most appearance in a season for Orlando Pirates alongside Senzo Meyiwa which he achieved in the 2013/14 season. He played 51 out of 53 matches and this was due to their long run in the CAF Champions League. On 9 August 2014 Oupa scored a penalty in a league opener against Moroka Swallows which they lost 2–1. On 13 August Oupa scored a brace in a 2–2 draw against Bloemfontein Celtic.

Manyisa made his debut for the South Africa national football team in a 0–0 draw with Sierra Leone on 8 October 2011. He represented Bafana Bafana at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations and scored his first international goal during a 1–1 draw with Senegal during the group stage.
