@AlexLeonSerero said:

“I thank the person who opted for this guy. What a player, pure class Jali, Coetzee, Neo, Kapinga, Zwane. I can take on Ahly with these boys together.”

@RowenMzuku said:

“I want him to play alongside Kapinga, I am anticipating a blast of football.”

“That’s my boy, Neo. The last time we had a left-footed play-maker was during Dillon Sheppard. Before that, it was Siaka Tiene. The Sundowns future is in good hands.”

Mamelodi Sundowns staff rewarded for MTN8 victory, R8 million prize money shared

In a previous post, Briefly News posted that Mamelodi Sundowns recently clinched the MTN8 trophy, which is a title that has eluded them for many years.

The club's top guns have decided that the prize money will be shared amongst the squad and technical staff for their amazing efforts. The decision to share the prize money amongst the staff is because of their bonus structure for their players and coaches.

The policy seems to be working for them as they were promised to share league prize money when they've won it in the past.
