South African Football Association (SAFA) president Danny Jordaan believes Mamelodi Sundowns owner Patrice Motsepe is a great choice for the CAF presidency.
The CAF elections are set to take place in March 2021, and Jordaan, along with SAFA, are putting their support behind Motsepe.
"His business acumen, observance of governance, legal training, global business, networking and skill, his love of African football, makes him a revolutionary choice for the leadership of African football," Jordaan said on Daily Sun.
"So, it is clear to me that what Africa needs at the moment is what Patrice offers. So, we must give him a chance and support. This is the man who was once named among the 100 best CEOs by Forbes magazine.
"He has to go and meet as many FA presidents as possible and that is what we are encouraging him to do," he added.
Meanwhile, Motsepe says it is still too early to comment on his CAF presidency ambitions.
"It will be extremely premature for me to say anything. This is the time for me to listen and be exposed to be the views of various leaders and presidents."
