Loyal fan wins trip to watch CAF final

Twala, a loyal Sundowns follower for nearly four decades, saw his name selected during a draw held ahead of the Betway Premiership encounter against Kaizer Chiefs at Loftus Versfeld on Wednesday.

The match ended in a draw, a result that put the defending champions in a difficult situation of winning the league this season, with the Sea Robbers closing the gap to three points with a game in hand.

“I’ve supported Sundowns since 1986,” said Twala. “I’m overwhelmed with excitement. I honestly don’t even know what to say.”

Adding to the story, Twala revealed he went against his wife’s wishes in order to attend the match and support the Brazilians.

“My wife didn’t want me to come to the stadium,” he explained. “But I insisted on coming because I wanted to watch the game.

“I love Sundowns so much. Nothing can come between this club and me.”

CAF final: Mamelodi Sundowns vs AS FAR

Sundowns lifted the CAF Champions League trophy for the first time 10 years ago under iconic coach Pitso Mosimane in 2016.

The club also reached the final in 2001 and suffered heartbreak in last season’s decider against Egyptian side Pyramids FC.

Now led by Miguel Cardoso, the Brazilians are determined to make amends and finally reclaim African club football’s biggest prize.

Twala is hopeful he will witness Sundowns return home with a second continental star.

“I’ll be there to see Sundowns bring home another star,” he said.
