Mamelodi Sundowns' Mngqithi: Motsepe could make Africa compete with Europe

Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi has predicted the dawn of a new era at Caf when Patrice Motsepe takes over as president of the organisation.

After entering into a pact with his rival candidates, Motsepe is expected to be announced as the new Caf boss on Friday by vote of acclamation in Rabat, Morocco.

He replaces Ahmad Ahmad whose reign was blighted by allegations of maladministration including the Madagascan being banned by Fifa.

Mngqithi has for many years worked under Motsepe who is the owner of Sundowns and feels that Caf will now have quality leadership under the mining magnate.
