Patrice Motsepe Gives Son Tlhopie Thumbs Up at Mamelodi Sundowns

• As far as Patrice Motsepe is concerned, Tlhopie Motsepe has it all locked down as Mamelodi Sundowns chairman

• His son then took over as the club's boss, with the team continuing its unrelenting dominance of South African football

Mamelodi Sundowns chairman Tlhopie Motsepe is holding it all down effectively.

His father Patrice is happy with the job that he has done since vacating the position in March to take on his challenging role of CAF president.

Motsepe senior said to TimesLIVE:

“I am happy and proud he loves football, but he has a life outside football and he’s got to pursue that. The key issue from a family’s perspective is the duty we have in relation to making this country a better place by giving back to the people who made us what we are.

"We play a role in relation to philanthropy and football is one of those areas we love, and I am happy he likes football. He is finding the right balance between his duty when it comes to the family’s obligation in job creation, education and creating for the poor and unemployed. Also how football can play a role in giving hope and inspiration."

Motsepe acquired full control of The Brazilians in 2004 after buying a controlling stake of 51% in 2003, as per Soccer Laduma.
