IDiski Times reported tgat Motaung wanted her son to start his football journey away from the pressure of playing for the club his famous grandfather has founded.
“He’s always under pressure and I didn’t want him to play for Chiefs. He didn’t play for Chiefs for years.
“He started his career at Wanderers Warriors who have done an amazing job and I must thank those people who laid the foundation, but at the same time I understand that he is a wonderful player and he must be doing his work.
“That’s the important thing for me, but he is under a lot of pressure. I want him to enjoy it and do his work. It’s not about me, it’s about him,” she said.
