“The eloquent skills and expertise he has applied in successfully running
Mamelodi Sundowns over the past decade are a testimony that he will indeed
transform African football. Today Sundowns is counted as one of the best teams
in South Africa and Africa as a whole and this is due to his love for the sport
and his soft spot for uplifting underprivileged people. Whatever he touches
turns into gold because he has passion in everything he does and is one person
who accommodates every character,” said Gwebu.
The supporters committee welcomed the managerial changes that unfolded following
Motsepe’s election. They extended their well wishes to former University of
Eswatini (UNESWA) lecturer, Rejoice Simelane, who assumed the position of the
club’s Deputy Chairperson, while his (Motsepe) son Tlopane hold the reigns as
the Chairman and Dr Precious Moloi - Motsepe as advisor. “We believe all
appointed officials will steer the ship to safer waters and continue to make
Mamelodi Sundowns one of the most successful teams in South Africa, Africa and
the whole world,” said Gwebu.

Commenting on the appointment of Simelane as vice chairperson for the club,
Gwebu said they believed that her business acumen and passion would help to
develop young and upcoming footballers to realise their dreams. “When we
celebrated our 50th anniversary in November 2020, Dr Simelane donated soccer
kits to young boys. We are also proud as Eswatini supporters that the former
president has entrusted Dr Simelane with this new task,” said Gwebu. He
further said they believed that the Eswatini-born administrator would also
motivate the growth of the Eswatini supporters’ branch.
