The Premier Soccer League (PSL) is rated as one of the best leagues in Africa, with a lot of top players from around the globe featuring in the action.

The top scorer in the league is always awarded the Lesley Manyathela Golden Boot at the end of the season.

The award was named after the legendary Orlando Pirates striker, who scored 18 goals in the 2003 season before tragically dying in a car accident.

Nomvethe slams compatriots over PSL record

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on former Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs forward, Nomvethe slamming South African strikers in a controversial fashion.

The former Bafana Bafana striker wants locals to be more lethal in front of goal, adding it would not be nice if a foreigner breaks his long-standing record.

"Every time there is a foreigner that comes to our league, they do well, and it tells you that our own strikers are weak," Nomvethe ranted.
