Taking a glance at his contribution for coach Stuart Baxter’s troops, the Reiger Park-born star has featured in nine matches across all competition for the club and netted three goals thus far. The 35-year-old is seen as a true leader on and off the field of play for the Soweto giants.

However, the talented baller has also been a victim of abuse on social from many football fans and he says he is very strong. He added per SowetanLIVE:
