Elias Pelembe ready to star for Mamelodi Sundowns
Pelembe wants to ‘repay supporters’

With his immediate future now sorted, Elias Pelembe says he is keen to start focusing on his game and help Mamelodi Sundowns to some long overdue silverware.
The Mozambique international’s name was the most significant in the PSL’s January transfer window. With his contract due to expire in June and seemingly no headway made in negotiations, the likes of Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs were tipped to swoop in and snap him up.

But Pelembe says his heart was always with The Brazilians, hence his decision to commit to a new three-and-a-half year contract.
“I’m very excited that I will be here for the next three years, and possibly more,” he says in the latest edition of KICK OFF Magazine.
“You must know one thing about me; my heart has always been with Sundowns. It’s just that some people made assumptions about my future since I had not renewed my contract yet.”
Now Pelembe wants to repay the fans’ loyalty and help Sundowns to a first piece of silverware since 2007.
“I think it is about time that we start winning in order to repay our supporters. I am prepared to put in the extra work to contribute to the team’s success,” he adds.
“The League becomes tougher in the second half, and we are not the only ones who want to win it, but I know that we want it more than anyone.
“It will be difficult, but with the kind of players we have, I have no reason to doubt that Mamelodi Sundowns are up for the challenge.”
