Mosimane backs SA sides to shine in Caf competition

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane is confident that the Absa Premiership sides competing in the Caf competitions can reach the semifinals.


Following solid performances from Platinum Stars and SuperSport United in the Caf confederation Cup, Mosimane believes Matsatsantsa and Dikwena can reach the semifinals of the continental competition.

The African coach of the year expressed his disappointment, however, at the elimination of Bidvest Wits.

“I’m disappointed because we could have had four teams… There are no reasons for Platinum Stars and SuperSport United not to reach the semis of the Confederation Cup. Look how SuperSport brushed aside the Liberian team [Barrack Young Controllers],” said Mosimane.

“It’s the mindset. If you want it, you can do it. Wits should have beaten Smouha. I see SuperSport and Dikwena going through. Plus there’s a lot of money now.”
