Breaking a Record Years in the Making

Shalulile had equaled Nomvethe’s tally just days earlier in Sundowns’ midweek victory, but his latest goal ensures he now stands alone at the summit of PSL goalscoring legends.

The striker’s tally is made up of:

• 27 goals for Highlands Park
• 103 goals for Mamelodi Sundowns

This consistency over multiple seasons has underlined his status as one of the most feared forwards in South African football.

Efficiency That Sets Him Apart

Beyond the sheer volume of goals, Shalulile has achieved the record with remarkable efficiency. His goals-per-game ratio sits at 0.44, compared to Nomvethe’s 0.41, highlighting just how clinical he has been across his PSL career.

This efficiency, combined with his durability and work rate, has made him a standout player in the PSL era.

Legacy of a Namibian Superstar

For Sundowns and South African football at large, Shalulile’s achievement represents more than a broken record — it’s a celebration of dedication, professionalism, and perseverance.

Football pundits and fans alike have hailed him as the PSL’s greatest striker, a forward who not only scores consistently but also inspires with his humility and relentless drive.

How Long Will the Record Stand?

The question now is not whether Shalulile could break the record, but how far he can extend it. At 31, the striker still has several years at the top level, giving him the opportunity to set a benchmark that could remain untouched for decades.

For now, Peter Shalulile stands tall as the undisputed king of PSL goalscorers, a title befitting his remarkable journey from Highlands Park to continental glory with Mamelodi Sundowns.
