AmaZulu forward attributed dedication to the longevity of his career after scoring this 120th PSL goal in the 2-1 victory against Mamelodi Sundowns.

Bhele extend his lead at the top of the all-time PSL scoring charts after netting the equalizer against Sundowns minutes after coming on a substitute and when quizzed about this incredible 20-year career, the former Kaizer Chiefs man cited his love for the game.

“It all comes down to dedication‚ I also spent a lot of time with my family and I work very hard at training so that I am always fit,” he told his club’s website.

“I am using my talent‚ which is a gift from God‚ and I don’t know when I will stop playing professional football because my legs can still carry me. I never expected to reach this age still playing professionally.

“Age is just a number‚ I am just making sure that I use of the opportunity that I have to inspire others.

“There are youngsters that I have seen who can play for Bafana Bafana‚ for the junior national teams or even go to Europe but they waste their talents because of doing things that are not right.

“Others are no longer with us anymore because they took wrong decisions but I want those who are still playing at the moment to look at me and Mabhuti Khenyeza.

“We love and respect football because it has given us a lot and they must not have bad influences in their lives because those people will not be there when things are bad. We just want to show them that football is played with love and respect,” he concluded.
