"Young Africans is also a big club and they compete at the highest level. They played in the final of the Confederation Cup last season, won the treble and the league I don’t know how many times. "
The history of this club is rich just like Mamelodi Sundowns. We know their big spending habits and they can buy any player at any given time.
