Mamelodi Sundowns
DStv Premiership: Mamelodi Sundowns are by far the best

Mamelodi Sundowns are the champions of South Africa, which sounds almost like a truism considering the domination of the Downs on South African soccer for ten years. They now have 13 trophies in their history.

In South Africa, there are the Mamelodi Sundowns, and the others. On April 1, the "Brazilians" won the DStv Premiership. A title won when they did not even play, taking advantage of the draw of the runner-up, SuperSport United against Chippa (1-1). This, with seven days to go in the championship. The domination this year is therefore overwhelming, but the domination over the decade is even more so.

Mamelodi Sundowns have won the DStv Premiership eight times in a row. The 2023 title is the 13th in their history, and the 8th in the last ten years. This is the longest such streak in the history of the rainbow nation. Moreover, the competitors have only words of praise. "I want to congratulate them. They did very well and played good soccer. I think it's a challenge for everyone to take our game to another level. For us, it's a work in progress and we are getting better and better. In time we will be a different team, but well done Sundowns," Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane told The South African.

South Africans are unanimous. Mamelodi Sundowns are the undisputed and undisputed kings of soccer in the country. Nevertheless, their performance should not be ignored or trivialized. This is the conviction of the Sundowns coach himself, Rhulani Mokwena. "Maybe sometimes in South Africa we don't appreciate it enough. We are victims of our own success. So we undermine the difficulties of winning the Premiership. The championship title is the most difficult (trophy) to win in any country because we have to play 15 opponents, home and away, and the competition lasts eight months. After all, there are also Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates...

With the national title in hand, Mamelodi Sundowns can now focus on the CAF Champions League. The South Africans finished first in Group B with 14 points, ahead of Al Ahly and Al Hilal. Qualified for the quarterfinals, they will know their opponent after the draw this Wednesday, April 5. And who knows, maybe in a corner of their head, Sundowns are dreaming of winning the competition again.
