This was revealed by her former junior national team coach Sheryl Botes on social media.
Botes, however, didn’t specify which team Motau was going to play and when she was going to leave.
“Amogelang Motau, one of South Africa’s best young women footballers, is leaving soon to study and to play football in the USA,” Botes tweeted.
The 20-year old Motau has captained both the national Under-17 and Under-20 teams.
She graduated to the senior national team in 2016 and made her debut against Egypt.
