Clinical and lethal Peter Shalulile has been dupped as The Godfather of the Dstv Premier league. The celebrated Namibian talisman who plays for Mamelodi Sundowns has been on a goal-scoring spree which has seen him being implicated amongst some of the world’s finest, like Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema and Egyptian and Liverpool main-man Mo Salah.

However, the comparison came after Shalulile scored more than 20 goals across all competition last year and almost won every cup within his team’s reach. Born in Windhoek, Namibia, in 1993 on 23 October, the right winger furnished his craze for football through academies before finding his fit in top-flight leagues.
