The Brazilians signed Iqraam Rayners from Stellenbosch this summer. The Bafana Bafana star has already scored a goal, but their talisman is still without a goal.
"I was very impressed with Peter's effort in the game [against Mbabane Swallows], and that's why we'll always support Peter no matter what because he always gives the team everything he has," Mngqithi said.
"When he's not scoring, it's our time as the whole technical team and the whole club to support him in his endeavours to come back because he's still going to be very important for us."
Sundowns' next match will be in the Premier Soccer League as they will face Marumo Gallants before taking on Kaizer Chiefs a few days later.
