Motupa made sure to use Mamelodi Sundowns opportunity wisely

The former Orlando Pirates attacker joined the Brazilians in September 2020 but only managed to make his debut three months later

Mamelodi Sundowns forward Gift Motupa has reflected on his “difficult” first season at Chloorkop where he had to battle fitness issues and stiff competition for places.

The 26-year-old joined Sundowns last September from Bidvest Wits while injured in what delayed his debut for the Tshwane giants.

After making his maiden appearance, coming on as a substitute in the 2-0 Premier Soccer League win over Chippa United at the end of January, Motupa went back to the sidelines before tasting action again three months later.
