Speaking on Sundowns' Twitter (X) profile, Johannes said it was easy to join despite interest from Soweto rivals Orlando Pirates.
Johannes said:
"I just asked about the environment, and they told me that it's 'winning'. You just have to win, and I think that aligns with my culture as well because I love to win."
After joining Sundowns, Johannes will have plenty of competition, as the side currently boasts Grant Kekana, Mosa Lebusa, and Rivaldo Coetzee.

"Money."
