Amakhosi's Instagram team shared the proceedings on a Instagram live video which kicked off with a Notorius B.I.G hit "Big Poppa" blasting on the speakers, an unexpectedly apt song to represent Dr Motaung's presence at Chiefs.

Amakhosi also put together a wholesome montage of images from Motaung Snr's journey as a player, a family man, leader, a fashion trend setter and his legacy through one of Africa's biggest football clubs, Kaizer Chiefs.
