Shaun Bartlett has lauded Dr Kaizer Motaung for his impact on South African football.
The Kaizer Chiefs supremo was inducted into the South African Hall of Fame this week.
Motaung founded Amakhosi in 1970 and has been honoured for his contribution.
Bartlett played for Chiefs towards the end of his career and spent time at the club as assistant manager from 2018 to 2020.
He said in the Citizen: “I think it’s about time that he’s honoured to be honest, he’s had a great impact on South African football.
“Not only for sport but economics as well because everybody understands that when Kaizer Chiefs does well, the whole country benefits. Even when I played for the club, that was the one thing you could recognise after the game.
“The impact that he has had on South African football is massive and the brand he has created. That legacy will live on forever because he has worked hard to bring the brand where it is today with the success of bringing trophies.”
Barlett added: “I was just grateful to be given the opportunity by the chairman and his family because Chiefs are a massive brand.”
Shaun Bartlett believes Dr Kaizer Motaung’s induction into the South African Hall of Fame was long overdue.
