Shalulile opens up after Sundowns’ exit
Namibian striker Peter Shalulile has opened up about his departure from Mamelodi Sundowns, bringing an end to his six-year spell at the club.
The 32-year-old joined the Tshwane giants in 2020 from Highlands Park under the leadership of co-coaches Manqoba Mngqithi and Rulani Mokwena.
“The journey has been great, it’s been amazing. Coming to a club where there are top players, it’s difficult but with all the hard, listening and dedication, I’ve managed to get quite numbers of records and also trophies, league, MTN8, Nedbank Cup,” he told Sundowns’ media department.
“It was all about the hard work. There was a time where injuries came but more important where there was no goals, when it was dry. It was the time where I needed to dig deep within myself.
“Regardless of not scoring, I could still come to the gym, my finishing drills. I decided when I spoke to my agent that the best for me to do is to ask the club, the president to give me an opportunity to showcase my talent somewhere else.

“Thank you to the supporters, they have been amazing people, they kept on singing, giving us energy. Without them, it’s tough on the pitch. “I’d like to thank the chairman for everything, I’ve known since he took over and he’s been an amazing person. I salute them for bringing me here, even the previous people that left, I’d love to thank them from the bottom of my heart.
“It’s not a goodbye, you never know where I’ll end up. Life is unpredictable, I’d like to thank them, Mr. President himself for giving me this opportunity, signing me from Highlands Park,” Shalulile concluded.
