Mkhulise came through the ranks of the Masandawana academy and gained promotion to the senior team in 2018.

The 29-year-old has since made 178 appearances across all competitions, while scoring nine goals and registering five assists for the club.

‘The Blesser’ will be hoping to secure more game time this campaign, having only made six appearances in all competitions so far this season.

“There is no other place where I wanted to be besides Mamelodi Sundowns, this is my home,” Mkhulise said on Sundowns’ X account.

“I love the team, I support the team and I feel the love of the supporters, the chairman, the president and everyone.”

“It was a no-brainer for me.”

The Brazilians recently secured their 14th straight win in the league when they commended Sekhukhune United to a 2-0 victory at Loftus Versfeld Stadium this past weekend.

The victory saw them open a 21 points gap over second placed Richards Bay with 52 points after 20 matches.

Mkhulise has been ever present in the Sundowns squad and only missed six league matches in Sundowns’ dominant run, but he feels there are still certain areas his side can improve despite their record-extending winning run.

“I am happy about my performance from the last game, however, I still need to improve in certain areas of my game,” Mkhulise told his club’s official website.

“To do that I have to analyse my performances from the past fixture to see where I need to put in more work in order to be ready for the next game.

“We are grateful for the points we have been able to collect. We want to continue collecting points from all the games we still have ahead.

“I am happy that all those who got an opportunity to play performed really well on the pitch.”
