Beyond Sundowns, Shalulile’s impact on South African football is historic. Combining his tenure at other clubs, he has netted a total of 127 goals in the PSL — placing him just behind Siyabonga Nomvethe’s all-time record of 129.
Still, not everyone is convinced that a transfer is imminent. Namibian sports analyst Jovita Kandjumbwa has urged fans to remain calm until concrete developments emerge.
"I haven’t heard of any concrete teams officially going after him. Until something is signed, I think fans shouldn’t panic," Kandjumbwa commented.
Nevertheless, as the end of the season nears and his contract situation remains unresolved, the uncertainty surrounding Shalulile’s future continues to dominate headlines.
