Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye later praised the Bucs star, highlighting his intelligence on the field and the way he continues to prove critics wrong.
“Mbule has a wonderful vision, he knows football, and the more he plays I think he proves a lot of people wrong,” Khanye told iDiski TV.
