ABOUT MTHETHWA

In case you don’t know much about the 27-year-old, Mthethwa began his PSL career at Royal Eagles in 2019, followed by two seasons with Black Leopards before Stellenbosch snatched him following Leopard’s relegation from the DStv Premiership.

The ‘Ox’ has started and finished each and every game of Stellies’ eight matches this season.
