You would think that Happy Jele’s 400th milestone games will be the ultimate achievement for him, but former Orlando Pirates player Joseph Makhanya and coach Milutin Sredojevic believe otherwise. RealNevilleK
Jele reached the milestone on Saturday when Pirates beat Swallows 1-0 to become the first player in the history of the club to make 400 appearances.
“The first time I met him, he was a very humble player and he never changed even today,” Makhanya told Sowetan yesterday. Makhanya added the reason he believes Jele, 34, can reach 500 appearances. “He is doing very well. That's what I like about him. He works very hard at training and I don’t see anything stopping him from making more than 500 appearances in the future,” he said.
“How time flies; back in 2006 [I] gave the first chance to that boy Jele, now 15 years after, he became a man completing 400 matches at Pirates jersey,” Sredojovic wrote in his Twitter account.Meanwhile, Jele said he would remain humble and dedicated to achieving more success with the club.
