Mamelodi Sundowns’ pre-season plans have hit a snag after the club were forced to cancel their much-anticipated trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
After spending time in Nelspruit and Botswana preparing for the 2019/20 season, Sundowns were expected to jet off to Lubumbashi, where they would have met Congolese sides Don Bosco and Tout Puissant Mazembe, respectively.
However, due to an outbreak of Ebola in the region, Sundowns’ management have decided against making the trip and have rerouted the team to Zambia, where they will conclude their preparations.
