Head coach Rulani Mokwena is backing midfielder Sipho Mbule to continue doing well with his career at Mamelodi Sundowns.
Mbule was named as Man of the Match after the Brazilians defeated Cape Town Spurs 3-0 inn Tshwane on Wednesday evening.
The former SuperSport United midfielder scored a cracker to open the account for the Brazilians, who have registered 11th successive league win.

Mbule's career has been marred by off-the-field problems and at one stage suspended at Chloorkop on allegations of substance abuse.
However, Mokwena says people should not read much said in the media about the 25-year-old midfielder's behavior at Chloorkop.
"I said to him if he continues from what he did against Pyramids when he came on as a sub I thought he was very good and if he continues like that he has a chance to play in the team," Mokwena said. "He is a good person, sometimes we (look at ) people with artificial eyes that personality based on what we hear, sometimes its rumors and sometimes we got to know the person.
"If you get a chance to know Sipho Mbule will know the human being, he is a great guy, he is a great person, immensely talent and I believe Sipho has so much potential."
Mbule will have a chance to stamp his authority in the starting line-up when Sundowns visit Pyramids for a return match in the CAF Champions League match in Cairo next week Tuesday.
