Mamelodi Sundowns president Patrice Motsepe hopes his club’s victory in the CAF Champions League will lift the country’s mood following weeks of #FeesMustFall protests.

Motsepe said he hoped winning the championship would go a long way in uplifting the morale of the country.

“This is a humble contribution from Sundowns to South Africa. It was a great honour to represent the country and we are honoured to bring this trophy back home.
