Defender, Grant Kekana, has won two league titles in his two seasons at Mamelodi Sundowns after the Brazilians lifted their sixth DStv Premiership title in a row on Tuesday.
Kekana said they had set some goals in the beginning of the season, and feels they have achieved some of them.
"We wanted to get three points last night (on Tuesday) but we take the point and celebrate the league title. It’s been a tough season. At the beginning of the season, we had set a lot of goals to fullfil, and I think coming down to the last game of the season, we achieved a bit of what we had hoped for. I am proud of the team and our accomplishments," Kekana told sundownsfc.co.za
The versatile defender has attributed Sundowns success to coach Rulani Mokwena, who is always pushing them to achieve more.
"He always pushes us to go into the level beyond the next and that’s the mentality we all have."
The 24-year-old said his motto has always been to improve and be a better footballer, something he has achieved at Sundowns, growing in statue with every game he plays.

"My motto has always been to improve and be better. I learn a lot from the quality players that surround me. We take advice from each other to help improve the collective, and I can only say that it’s because of the collaborative effort of the team that I’m improving my game.
"I’m proud to be a part of this wonderful team, I keep learning and improving every day. The coach has always motivated us to express ourselves on the pitch and that is what helped me to come out of my shell and display my skills."
Sundowns will face Wydad AC on Saturday 20 May at Loftus Versfeld in a Caf Champions League 2nd leg semi-final encounter.
