Peter MA reacted:

"Thank you. Cardozo sabotaged us on Wednesday. Shalulile should’ve opened this long time ago if he’s given a chance on Wednesday. Shalulile loves to score against chiefs but the coach decided to give chiefs a point."

BanksOupa2 commented:

"Congratulations to Peter on his record breaking. If it was not for the TD / SD and the Coach, Peter would have been on 150."

Marvin Clay responded:

"We need to be honest about @OfficialPSL standard no player in history to hit the 300s 🤔, I've said this before in South Africa we praise legends that used to dance with the ball. No important records whatsoever.."

mafiri_vincent added:

"The fact that Nomvethe held the record while not playing with the PSL the majority of this career, speaks a lot on the poor quality of strikers in the league and not so long ago he was a top scorer at an old age."
