In his thankful message to the team, Jele describes the club as his home and says he has enjoyed a good working relationship with the club chairman Irvin Khoza.
“This is a place I called home since I joined as a 19-year old. The matter of the contract has never been an issue for me because this is home. I have a very good relationship with the Chairman, the door is always open for me. If ever I have issues, I can always go to him.”
The 33-year old Mpumalanga born defender joined the Buccaneers in 2006.
The defender has won many trophies at the club including a historic double treble.
