'Many people think I was named after coach Pitso or he is my dad or something,' he chuckled. trueG_88

The 23-year-old explained how he got the nickname Pitso."Many people think I was named after coach Pitso or he is my dad or something," he chuckled."I got the name when I was younger playing in my hometown and they used to call me Tso. After a while it changed a bit and people started calling me Pitso."

The youngster from Pietermaritzburg has made nine appearances and has scored one goal this season. For any young man who just finished high school, joining a team where you are surrounded by millionaire teammates is not an easy transition. However, Mkhulise says that his elder teammates have been nothing but inspiring to him.

"The guys are humble and give me the support that allows me to do well. There are no egos, we are one happy family here. The guys accepted me with both arms when I was promoted to the first team. My teammates don't behave like superstars or anything, they are good people." Mkhulise will hope for more game time this weekend when Sundowns travel to Lamontville Golden Arrows for a Telkom Knockout semifinal .
