The man known for his stylish suits and gold rings says the club’s culture to win trophies has led to a lot of South African football fans supporting Sundowns.
“People want a team that wins all the time,” Shakoane told Lesedi FM.
“People want to go to bed feeling good after a win and most clubs in South Africa don’t offer that anymore. We are winning.
“We are the only team that wins so much, we are stealing fans from other clubs, they are joining us. When the team that you support wins, the family is happy. There is peace in your house.
“Nothing can stop Sundowns now.”
