Shoutout to Patrice Motsepe for coming to the country’s rescue with R1bn pledged to assist the country manage the impact of Covid-19.
Eish, the pressure from the guys with money is real, hey.
The Mamelodi Sundowns owner matched the pledges made by country’s richest families the Oppenheimers and the Ruperts.
That’s not at all a bad thing, but what about his commitments to grassroots football? There are still monies owed to teams in the ABC Motsepe League.
The Magic, who are now under new ownership as Norway Parks Magic are owed R75 000 in prize money and for transport grants and referee funds going back a few years.
For example, when the Magic FC came fourth, three seasons ago, they were told the prize money was R15 000.
They finished second for the next two seasons which means they were due R30 000.
The overall winner pockets R40 000.
