“I would like to ask the members of the Exco [Executive Committee] to grant me permission to grant Dr Motaung R2 million to spoil himself,” said Khoza.

“Dr Kaizer Motaung has worked hard for himself. I know the pain and agony you went through to build an institution like Kaizer Chiefs and the NSL. May God bless you.”

Motaung and Khoza were instrumental in the formation of the Premier Soccer League in 1996 which succeeded the National Soccer League.

Amongst those who attended the ceremony was Motaung’s daughter and Kaizer Chiefs marketing director Jessica Motaung.
