South Africans Abroad: Rulani sets the record straight [VIDEO]
Rulani Mokwena has denied being in possession of Mamelodi Sundowns’ tactical plans ahead of Saturday’s showdown at Loftus Stadium.
MC Alger head coach Rulani Mokwena has set the record straight on allegations that he received tactical tips from Mario Masha.
Masha is an analyst at Mamelodi Sundowns but he’s currently suspended as the club investigates the allegations.
The pair – Mokwena and Masha – worked together for years at Sundowns with the latter spending a decade at Chloorkop.
And addressing the media, Mokwena described Masha as a man of integrity who wouldn’t compromise his profession.
Furthermore, Mokwena said the allegations undermine the hard work done by his technical team at MC Alger.

SUNDOWNS HOST MC ALGER
Sundowns will host MC Alger in a crucial CAF Champions League final group match at Loftus Stadium on Saturday.
Kick-off is at 15:00.
All four Group C teams have a chance to qualify for the quarterfinals, meaning this is a must-win for either Sundowns or MC Alger.
As things stand, MC Alger are second on the log with seven points while Sundowns are third with six points after five games.
A draw will see Sundowns bow out of the CAF Champions League while Mokwena’s will have to wait for the result between Al-Hilal and St. Eloi Lupopo.
