"Moreover, it had both direct support both of sponsors Nedbank and Government in light of the nature and importance of the event and the part football plays in bringing South Africans together.
"The Executive Committee of the League granted the requested subject to compliance with all of the relevant requirements of CAF and FIFA and also on the express basis that Mamelodi Sundowns will comply fully with every requirement of SASREA."
But there remains unfinished business. Through the centenary year the focus of the Foundation’s endeavour will be in three main areas: fighting poverty and inequality; striving to eradicate the scourge of racism; and reckoning with our country’s oppressive pasts. - Online Sources
