Citing Sundowns shall we recount, Motsepe asserted his feeble outfit can compete with clubs from Scandinavia and Greece when it comes to the salaries, which retains them from entertaining to Europe.

“What can contain a colossal affect on making certain that the finest African players stay in Africa is that we must always pay them effectively. We must always pay them competitively. And I do know from my skills at Sundowns that we competed with Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Greece.

And we’d query players, ‘K, how grand are you incomes there? And we pays you that.’ They’d settle on to be in Africa. I am gay with what a bunch of our African clubs are doing, making big sacrifices. And a few of them are making big financial sacrifices because they set aside no longer need the kind,” mentioned Motsepe.
