The 28-year-old playmaker was omitted from the Bucs squad that defeated Sekhukhune United 1-0 in their first leg MTN8 semi-final clash at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday.
AmaBhakaniya head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou admitted to reporters after the match that Maswangwanyi was fit to play against Babina Noko but was left out for non-tactical reasons.
"I cannot say too much about the issue," said Ouaddou.
"He is not injured. He was available, but I just cannot speak about something that I don't masteries in."
The former SuperSport United midfielder has also been linked with a move to Rhulani Mokwena led Pyramids FC, with his exclusion from the recent matchday squad raising eyebrows regarding his Bucs future.
Maswanganyi has made 120 appearances for the Buccaneers since joining the club in 2023, scoring 28 goals while providing 21 assists and winning six trophies.
He also won the DStv Premiership Players' Player of the Season, DStv Premiership Midfielder of the Season and the Nedbank Cup Player of the Tournament at the 2023/24 PSL Awards after his first campaign with Pirates.
