Will Sundowns survive beyond Motsepe?

Mamelodi Sundowns is one of the most flamboyant South African premiership clubs there is. Boasting of a sound financial backing from club President Patrice Motsepe, Amasandawana have been able to attract top players such as Khama Billiat, Leonard Castro and Teko Modise just to name a few.

As oppossed to Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates who boast of a multitude of supporters, Motsepe’s backing has been able to sustain the club and make Sundowns compete even on the African continent.

Now with Sundowns largely controlled by Motsepe one question that arises is whether the Brazilians will be able to run sustainably without the financial backing of Motsepe.
