My family supports Sundowns – Sekotlong

Thokozani Sekhotlong fulfilled his childhood dream when he moved to Mamelodi Sundowns this week.


In an interview with SowetanLive Sekhotlong revealed that his family supports Sundowns and that his father is a big supporter of the Tshwane side.

“Since leaving University of Pretoria I’ve always been away from home. So being back at home and actually for a team like Mamelodi Sundowns mean the most to me‚” the forward said.

“It’s a dream come true‚ so it’s a very proud move for me and my family.

“It’s kind of funny because I was playing for Free State Stars and I did well for the first half of the season and then I got injured.

“And now when we came back from preseason I had troubles with my fitness and some injuries‚ but knowing what the problem was. Free State Stars decided to end my contract.

“Obviously I was clubless and looking for a team‚ and luckily Sundowns came through and said‚ ‘Let’s give you a chance. We think you could add value to the team’.

“I did have other offers but I couldn’t turn this one down‚ because it’s an opportunity of a lifetime.

“I was willing to take the risk‚ and I knew that if I could give my all I am capable of playing and adding value to the team.”

“My family are Sundowns fans – Especially my father‚” Sekotlong concluded.
