Jomo Sono: Africa has a history of squandering money

Many believe that Patrice Motsepe's billionaire status means that he's chasing Caf's top job for the right reason - his love of the game

South African football legend and Jomo Cosmos owner and head coach, Jomo Sono, believes that Mamelodi Sundowns president Patrice Motsepe is the ideal candidate to take African football forward into a brighter future.

Motsepe is running unopposed for the Caf presidential position, following the withdrawal of Jacques Anouma, Augustin Senghor and Ahmed Yahya, who are believed to have made an agreement in this regard with Fifa president Gianni Infantino.

The Sundowns boss is expected to be confirmed as the new Caf president at the 42nd edition of Caf's General Assembly, which takes place in Rabat, Morocco on Friday.
