Former Warriors striker Cuthbert Malajila has said Peter “Nsukuzonke” Ndlovu is Mamelodi Sundowns’ unsung hero following the club’s continued successes over the years.
Malajila believes the former Warriors skipper and Sundowns’ prolific striker, now the club’s manager, is playing a key role in helping the Pretoria based side achieve success.
However, the ex-Highlanders and Dynamos gunmen feels Ndlovu’s contribution at the club is being ‘underrated’ with much credit being given to the Tshwane giants’ coaches.
He told FARPost: “I was there. I learnt a lot. He [Peter Ndlovu] was and is always there to extend a warm helping hand, especially to new players.
“He helped a number of players settle in. It’s not a secret that there is intense competition at the club. One has to fight hard to be in the team.
“Peter’s work speaks for itself. Ask any current or former Sundowns player. He has been so smooth and he has remained grounded.
“He is very good at what he does. I think he is one of the unsung heros in the team at the moment.
“The team is moving well and it’s a good reflection of the work that is being put it by everyone.”
Nsukuzonke is part of Rulani Mokwena’s led Sundowns technical team as the manager while his fellow countrymen and former teammate Esrom Nyandoro is the scout.
Ndlovu was appointed Sundowns team manager back in July 2013 when the former CAF Champions League winners where still under the guidance of Pitso Mosimane.
His managerial era has seenw Downs winning several championship titles and domestic league cups as well as continental trophies.
Majayivana wahlabela,abayaziyo ingoma bayakwazi what am saying
since when the managers in africa accredited with club success they always moving on shadow not known eg Dembare success to final of CAF Champions league lesley Gwindi was never mentioned but he was behind that success and now interms of revamp the team they forgot successful managers
Sure
Agree
He is far away from helping Sundowns…
Peter the dribbling wizard
True, it’s not coincidence, when he arrived their fortunes changed, they were good before but not as in what they are now.

Shephard Marufu Musarwadziwe nechokwadi baba chakanaka chakanaka zviripachena izvo zvataurwa na Cuthbert ,why vanhu tisinga gone ku appreciater zvaitwa neumwe ?
Look Pisto left the club long back but they are still dominating south africa simply because the club has got the money to buy the best latent all over the world sorry i know as zimbos we have suffered for too long so lits normal to become emotional when analyzing issues
Shephard Marufu Manchester City or PSG are failing to dominate Champions league despite the financial power. Your talk is full of jealous. Malajila is talking not from what he heard but what he experienced. He was there and you are just commenting out of hate.
Shephard Marufu look at Chelsea
Shephard Marufu aaa 🤣🤣🤣
Shephard Marufu will answer you with a question if you are a football lover you will know what am talking of
Why did #Ndlovu shut down his youth academy in bulawayo when he was still playing in england
Shephard Marufu He is playing a big role manager Peter even wth financial muscle without good management yu are doin nothing and take a good look kuPSG they have financial muscle but why are they not dominating even to lift th Champion league
Shephard Marufu every companies that u see doing well it start from the managers, so peter ndlovu is doing the good job
Shephard Marufu it’s not financial muscles alone, management plays a role. Many rich teams are failing
Shephard Marufu nonsense
Pitso once said each and every member of the Downs’ family is working torwards the same goal and ambition including the groundmen nd tea ladies..that s why after that 3_0 loss to pirates ,technical team was changed nd some technical members got fired cause they dropped the ball….its a solid chain that Motsepe dnt want any member to break.
Shephard Marufu unomona
Shephard Marufu umona chlama
Shephard Marufu Do you know the role of team manager first before we take this debate further
Whatever the semantics sundowns have the money to do anything nothing against our very own Nsukuzonke
Shephard Marufu Real Madrid with all the financial muscle New Castle the richest team in Premier league also psg so dude I guess what their saying is true about Peter

Ndlovu only play 2 season & Ndlovu get lucky to get that job ,we still hv MANZINI ETC
We celebrate Peter Every day 👆👆👆
Not at all Peter is collecting data on players for yellow and redcards so how can this assist Downs’ success?
He is the best 👌
Sundowns is a well organised club…Their technical staff is full of experienced staff and having Peter on that position is a great blessing…He has played at the highest level in soccer and he brings that expertise to sundowns…
