“I think teams are catching up, financially teams are able to pay players now. When I went to Chiefs there were only a few teams that can afford to pay you besides Chiefs and Pirates. Now obviously Mamelodi Sundowns have come to the fore, we know that Bidvest Wits have a huge sponsor in terms of Bidvest so they can afford. You have SuperSport United and Platinum Stars was a place where you can get money,” said Fredericks.
