On Thursday, Mamelodi Sundowns senior coach Manqoba Mngqithi spoke to the media ahead of their MTN8 final showdown against Orlando Pirates. Mngqithi praised the work of Sundowns head coach, Rhulani Mokwena, and revealed what sets him apart from his peers.

Mngqithi said that Mokwena is a “very talented, very detailed and works very hard” coach, with “fresh ideas” and a “very good work ethic”. He added that Mokwena’s strengths have helped to maintain the team’s framework, and that it is what will carry the club forward.
