However, she remains a very private person when it comes to her personal life and profile, but we have managed to gather a few things you may have not known about the experienced administrator.

Motaung is a 47-year-old football executive who has been in the spotlight for the better part of her life. She is a former pageant winner of the lucrative Miss South Africa First Princess and Africa’s Queen of Beauty titles back in 1997.

The daughter of the club chairman and owner, Kaizer Motaung, Jessica also holds the record as the second runner-up of the Miss World pageant in 1997. Having also featured on television as host of Speak Out that was aired on SABC, Motaung decided to turn her focus to football.

Briefly News has it on good authority that the stunning director is married to Ken Simmons. The loving husband and filmmaker is known to be a private person just like his wife, his roots are traced to the United States and they both have two children, Kenneth and Donald.

According to BuzzSouthAfrica, the two lovebirds have been in love for many years. However, the publication has it that Motaung previously had an extramarital affair with a staff member at Naturena, Thato Matuka.
