Wanted Teboho Mokoena speaks about his future and preferred football destination

Earlier, Briefly News reported that SuperSport United player Teboho Mokoena is a huge target for Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs. Mokoena is also a regular feature in Bafana Bafana colours and this has led to him becoming a highly sought-after player in the top-flight.

While most players would be delighted with being offered a contract at a big South African club, Mokoena has other intentions for his career. Speaking about what his next destination will be, Mokeona mentioned something unexpected but also understandable.

Exclusive: Joseph Makhanya: “Mamelodi Sundowns can’t afford to lose the MTN8 final”

Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Joseph Makhanya has shared his thoughts on who will emerge as MTN8 champions for the 2021/22 season. The retired midfielder was exclusively speaking to Briefly News ahead of the match between Mamelodi Sundowns and Cape Town City this weekend.

The two DStv Premiership giants will lock horns at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday evening as they will battle it out for the R8 million in prize money.
