Bad luck has been given as one of the main reasons for George Maluleka’s minimal game time at Mamelodi Sundowns.
Maluleka has gone through a very rough patch since he joined Sundowns from Kaizer Chiefs in July 2020.
The 33-year-old started the Caf Champions League dead-rubber match for Sundowns against Al-Merrikh on Saturday and scored his first goal at the club with a classy header as Masandawana thumped the Sudanese team 3-0. Before that game Maluleka had played a total of 15 minutes this season while in the previous campaign he managed just 625 minutes across all competitions.
“A lot has been said about him, but the truth of the matter is we must give the credit to the boy,” Mngqithi said.
