"I want to dedicate this victory, maybe even the victory is not enough, maybe the entire season to the chairman of this football club, Thlopie Motsepe," he said.

"I run out of words, I get emotional. In the good moments, he's there; in the bad moments, he's there. For the last three weeks, I've felt very, very low. He's been texting me every single day. And I just want to dedicate this league title, dedicate this big victory against a big rival to our Chairman Thlopie Motsepe because he is [an] unbelievable human being.

"I wish I could be half the man that he is. He's an incredible leader. He's been so supportive, and yeah, so I hope he is watching. This is for you."
