MAMELODI SUNDOWNS CHAIRMAN MOTSEPE TO BE ABSENT IN SOME MATCHES

I would like to inform you that I have undertaken additional responsibilities on top of my primary role as the Chairman of Mamelodi Sundowns Football Club, which will result in me not attending as many football matches as I did in the past.

I will be pursuing personal, business and academic interests in Europe, as well as advancing the Motsepe family business ventures on the African continent.

I am grateful to the supporters, players, coaches, technical team and staff of Mamelodi Sundowns for the excellent work that they are doing.

On the 23rd of September, I will be attending the Mamelodi Sundowns AGM, as well as at the MTN 8 semifinal.

I look forward to seeing you at both events and at other matches during the course of the season.

Yours sincerely,

Tlhopie Motsepe
