| Mr Patrice Motsepe |
South Africa's mining magnate Patrice Motsepe, who owns football club Mamelodi Sundowns, says the team will share the entire prize of $1.5m after winning the 2016 African Champions League, the local IO news site reports.
Mr Motsepe, the richest black man in the country, would only keep the trophy after the team beat Zamalek 3-1 on aggregate to be crowned as the African champions, it adds.
Mr Motsepe is quoted as saying:
The prize money is theirs. All of the $1.5m. They must sit down now and start to think that how are they going to divide that money among themselves.
We got into football as a family in a humble way to give back. I hope that the guys don’t waste the money now. Put it into something that will benefit you when your football is over.”
