"With the support & coordination of COSAFA President Philip Chiyangwa, the CAF Presidency candidature of Patrice Motsepe will be successful. Philip Chiyangwa’s efforts defeated Issa Hayatou who had made it impossible for other candidates to contest for CAF President. Best Wishes!"

Briefly.co.za previously reported that South African mining mogul and billionaire Patrice Motsepe means business as he is trying to secure himself the president of CAF title. Motsepe is headed to Qatar after arriving home from a week-long stay in Cameroon.
As part of his campaign to strengthen his chances while he runs for the CAF presidency, Motsepe has visited almost all 54-member associations, although he was not the only contender who made this decision as those he is up against were on the same track, also showing up in Cameroon last week.
Motsepe is up against Ahmed Yahya (Mauritania), Augustine Senghor (Senegal), and Jacques Anouma for the president title and he seems to be taking his competition very seriously indeed by the looks of things.
