Sundowns will head into next season seeking to defend their PSL title and aiming for silverware in the CAF Champions League and Nedbank Cup.

Fans applaud Sundowns

Local football fans applauded Sundowns on social media, believing the PSL champions have significantly improved their squad.

Enerst Maluleke says Sundowns have bolstered their squad:

"At last, Mvala has competition now. We needed a centre-back. When Kekana is injured or absent, Johannes can fill that space. Can't trust Mvala."

Vhadededze Thee Don says admires Masandawana:

"Good signing. Downs is focusing on young talents. That's why he was against Lorch's signature. He doesn't hate the player; he's just aiming at the long-term goals."

Harold Ligege is a fan of Johannes:

"A ball-playing defender, not always kicking the ball forward like Kwinika."
