The 32-year-old defender joins the Natal Rich Boyz as a free agent after partying with Pirates at the end of last season.
Richards Bay announced the signing of the experienced defender on Sunday.
“We would like to take this opportunity to confirm the signing of defender Ntikelela Nyauza who has been on the books of Orlando Pirates,” read a tweet from Natal Rich Boyz.
Nyauza made 28 appearances for the Pirates last season and scored one goal for the Buccaneers. His departure from Pirates came as a surprise to many, given that he had made 20 league appearances in the 2021/22 season.
With over 11 years of experience playing football at professional level, the former Platinum Stars and Roses United defender will bring a wealth of experience to Richards Bay.
Meanwhile, Richards Bay maintained their positive start to the 2022/23 DStv Premier League campaign with a 1-0 win over Sekukhune United at the King Zwelitini Stadium on Saturday night.
Yamel Mbutum scored the winning goal for Natal Rich Boyz.
