Things are shaping well at the Amakhosi Development, this is according to Football Manager, Bobby Motaung.

“We are investing heavily in this project. We are putting together a solid infrastructure to support our ambition to grow our own players. The evolution of football economy requires us to develop our own talent. We are not only investing in players, we are strengthening the Technical Team with a Team of Physios, Sports Scientist and Dieticians. We have brought in a Technical Director, Bo Augustsson from Sweden to oversee and guide the process. Mr Augustsson is busy adapting to the conditions in SA and we hope that he will add value to the project. We already see progress sooner than we expected,” said Bobby Motaung.
