Mamelodi Sundowns’ Rhulani Mokwena has friends
Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rhulani Mokwena has banked on the experience of colleagues Manqoba Mngqithi and Steve Komphela and his players to help them prevail in the MTN8 final against Cape Town City on Saturday night.
After a bright start to the campaign, the Brazilians reached the MTN8 final following wins over Kaizer Chiefs and Golden Arrows in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, respectively.
But this is uncharted territory for the 11-time league champions.
They are yet to win the competition in 14 years, while they lost their two finals to Chiefs and defunct Bidvest Wits in 2008 and 2016, respectively.
But that’s been their only miss in almost a decade after bagging six league titles and a host of trophies.
