Mamelodi Sundowns president Patrice Motsepe says he is not yet regarding himself as Caf president despite a vote of acclamation waiting for him at Friday’s elective annual general meeting in Rabat, Morocco.
Motsepe is all but confirmed as the new Caf boss, since the Court of Arbitration for Sports maintained outgoing president Ahmad Ahmad’s ban by Fifa on Monday. The Malagasy only had his sanction reduced from five to two years.
With the other three Caf presidency hopefuls Ivorian Jacques Anouma, Senegal Football Federation boss Augustin Senghor and Mauritanian Yahya stepping aside at the weekend to back Motsepe, Ahmad was the remaining stumbling block to Motsepe's ascendancy to the Caf throne.
