According to iDiski Times, Nomvethe backed Shalulile to break the record and said he admires the Namibian’s determination.

Nomvethe said:

“Four goals is nothing, so he will be the new record holder. Well done to him, and it means he worked very hard to get to that number, and it’s not easy. It also shows that he is clinical up front, and he also wants to set a record himself. A striker should score goals and he could have been called a failure if he didn’t score.”

“Shasha is YELLOW so, YELLOW NATION always breaks records and in the end manages to break their records. Shasha will break this one and sealed up by breaking his own.”
