The 25-year-old came up through the development ranks at Pirates, playing for their reserve side ahead of a loan switch to Midlands Wanderers in January 2026.
He was hoping to make his return this season but has subsequently been loaned out to Motsepe Foundation Championship side Casric Stars - now formally rebranded as Real Native FC.
At Wanderers, Dondolo played 13 matches, scored four goals and provided six assists.
Speaking after finalising his second loan move, the player told Soccer Laduma.
"Honestly, as a player I'd say I am ready because that's where I want to see myself, but when you look at things sometimes, you think I still maybe need a good season or in the NFD [National First Division] to prepare myself, so when I go there to the Betway Premiership, I am not coming back to the NFD," he said.
"Going out on loan helps you as a player because sometimes you tell yourself that you are ready to play for your parent club, but they see something that you do not see and it helps a lot because we improve certain things you think you knew.
"When you play those NFD games, you learn a lot. It prepares me for the Betway Premiership as I wait for my team. It gives me confidence. Each game, I learn something new."
