The 28-year-old attacking midfielder, who was recently part of the Bafana Bafana Cosafa Cup squad, has put pen to paper on a three-year deal.
Kapinga expressed excitement for joining the Buccaneers, saying his focus is to work hard to revive his career.
“I am pleased to join the club,” Kapinga told the Pirates media.
