Happy Jele: Orlando Pirates remain grounded after going top of the PSL log

Orlando Pirates captain Happy Jele has stressed the importance of team spirit as Bucs claimed victory over Bidvest Wits on Saturday.

An own-goal by Keegan Ritchie handed the Buccaneers a narrow 1-0 win over their Premier Soccer League (PSL) title rivals at the Bidvest Stadium.

Jele reflected on the match after collecting the Man of the Match accolade following a solid display at the heart of the Bucs defence.

“It was a difficult match playing against Wits, it’s a small ground," Jele told SuperSport TV.
