Earlier this morning, Friday 24th December, former Kaizer Chiefs midfield maestro, Pule Estein shared beautiful snaps of his wedding with a ravishing apple of his eye. The ceremony was held the traditional Sotho way, where the midfielder appeared with his wife dressing in blue and white traditional attire.
The 30-years old, who currently plies his trade at the Dstv Premiership side, Amazulu took advantage of the December vacation, which ironically began a day after his team was in action last night against Orlando Pirates – they lost 2-1.
It appears Ekstein had invited only his close family members and close friends in a low-key private event, in particular, due to the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
His wedding comes at a time his career has not been flourishing, as, after his return from his 2-year stint in Azerbaijan, he has found the going a little tougher to acclimatize into Benni McCarthy’s team, with just 6 appearances that have not yielded a goal nor an assist.
It’s a fact that Eksein has not lived up to expectations, therefore, he will be hoping marital life will change his fortunes as far as his career is concerned.

The South African football fraternity and some of his former teammates took to micro-blogging site Twitter to express their delight that he has now officially tied the knot, with players such as Itumeleng Khune congratulating him for the monumental leap of faith he took in settling.
Ordinarily, what Ekstein has done should have something PSL players consider doing at a relatively young age. There is a sense in Europe that players who get married in their early 20s tend to have successful careers because of the responsibility that comes with being a married man and possibly a father.

As the Great Teko Modise said in his interview with MacG, “getting married at a young age grounds you.”
Therefore, helps you stay away from the night marauders and all sorts of things that could potentially hinder a player’s progression.
