"One of the greatest challenges in life is knowing enough about a subject to think you're right, but not enough about the subject to know you're wrong."
Pitso Mosimane:
"I will make Khama Billiat player of the season"
"I will make Percy Tau player of the season"
"I will make Themba Zwane player of the season."
You kept your promise Jingles.
Thank you.

In light of what happened to AmaZulu last night against Dondol Stars, I'm reminded of this interview done by the great one while he was still the coach at the club.
Hlompho Kekana, Happy Jele & Itumeleng Khune are rare breed, special kind of players and leaders.
The three local boys showed that one can withstand fame and play longer in professional ranks.
Fame didn't make them arrogant. It kept them stronger.
When football fans commit to hating a player, they go all out.
Goal 1: his teammate fails to track his man. Guess who get blamed.
Goal 2: yes, he concedes a freekick, but he can't pick every1 in the box.
I pray he gets support from those around him.
I've seen almost all great Sundowns sides. From the confidence of the Screamer's sides, bravery of Ted's sides, resilience of Gordon's side, the precision of Pitso's side, the dominance of the co-coaches, but damn, the arrogance on the ball of Rulani's side is unbelievable!

Kaizer Chiefs was defeated 3-0 by Pitso Mosimane's Al Ahly in the CAFCL final.
It was their first ever CAFCL appearance and despite their transfer ban and playing with 10-men in most part of the match, Chiefs fought a good fight.

Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies are the first team to win a continental treble in Africa.
They win the champions league without conceding a single goal.

Hey,
@Masandawana
It may not be now, today or tomorrow, but we will keep on trying until we get it right. We'd rather try and fail than fail to try.
Remember always, our rise is limitless.
Sky is the limit...
Next season, there's an FC that will play League, MTN 8, Carling Cup, Nedbank Cup, CAFCL, CAFSL, CAFSC & FIFACWC.
Some of their players will add AFCON in this heavy schedule.
I think they will be on a signing spree. FFP gang must brace themselves.

Percy Tau became the first South African to score at the club world cup. Sundowns still are the only South African club to play at that level.
Andile Dlamini won WAFCON & WCAFCL GK of the tournament.
She is a member of CAF NT & Club team of the year award.
The brilliant Sticks, together with Thalea Smidt, Melinda Kgadiete & Bambanani Mbane join Kennedy Mweene as winners of both AFCON & CAFCL at Mamelodi Sundowns.

Patrice Motsepe announced Manqoba Mngqithi and Rulani Mokwena as co-coaches for this giant Masandawana project.
A year of the coaches.
1 x League title
MTN 8 finalist
36 league matches in charge.
1 defeat.
To more disagreements gents... 🍻
PSL teams must show us who is coaching their development teams from under 13 right up to first team. What qualifications do they have, etc. Incl. Goalkeeper coaches, assistant coaches, technical directors, etc.
Let's see these qualifications. Maybe the problem is not the players
3 draws in a row. Unbeaten like Rulani.
He told you his players are same level as of those Chiefs and Pirates, namhleka, and still he got draws against both.
What you say now?
RM is next...

Mamelodi Sundowns has kept 26 cleansheets in 37 league matches, conceding only 14 goals in the same number of games.
Dennis Onyango has kept 20/26 cleansheets in these stats.
Kodwa ngeke usizwe sibanga umsindo...
Beaten 5 times by same team you're on "same level" with in one calender year is a shame.
They score 14 times against you. 14 times!!!! The best you could say is that you have more following. Really???
Last 5 years [2017-2022], Percy Tau played for Sundowns, Union, Brugges, Anderlecht, Brighton and Al Ahly. 6 clubs in 5 years.
You can't expect a player that has changed cultures, coaching philosophies, styles, languages, etc. so much to keep and maintain same form.
Ngiyala!
Real Madrid and Al Ahly were meant for continental competitions. They can play the most boring football but make no mistake when it comes to Champions League.
Taking a South African club away from your traditional home venue to a stadium named after their struggle icon was suicidal.
I'm sure the Algerians were thoroughly entertained by the football the Sundowns displayed last night.

Joseph had dreams that were too deep for his family to comprehend and his brothers chose to sell him. One day, they all met him in exile and bowed to him.
@rscanderlecht
Thank you for welcoming Percy and his football clan, the South Africans. We enjoyed ourselves at your FC.
As we leave this wonderful club and country, we have one more request.
Please retire that

shirt in his honor.
