SUNDOWNS ANNOUNCE MOTHIBA

Lebo Mothiba is officially Sundowns’ newest player.

Here is the official announcement on Masandawana’s Twitter page.

Moreover, the former Bafana Bafana striker has returns to South Africa following a decade long stint abroad. So, the 29-year-old will bring even more experience and firepower upfront for Sundowns.

Mothiba played for the likes of Lille OSC, Valenciennes and RC Strasbourg. Now, he is back in SA where he will run out for The Brazilians. Furthermore, the Sundowns camp welcomed him with enthusiasm and excitement, according to SNL.

GOOD NEWS FOR BRAZILIANS AND BAD NEWS FOR CHIEFS

This serves as great news for Sundowns fans as he adds depth to an already formidable attacking squad. Furthermore, he joins the likes of Iqraam Rayners and Peter Shaquille up front.

Meanwhile, for Chiefs hopefuls this is bad news.

A few seasons ago he was reportedly linked with a move to Amakhosi. However, the move did not materialize. So, Chiefs have missed out on yet another signing to Sundowns. Moreover, they recently lost out of Iqraam Rayners to The Brazilians.

Mothiba is the latest official signing to take place in the Betway Premiership.

Stay tuned to The South African as we reveal every signing and departure from Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi as they happen.
