CAF elects Motsepe as new president
The 43rd CAF General Assembly, meeting today, 12
March 2021 in Rabat, Morocco, elected Dr. Patrice
Motsepe, as President of CAF.
Dr Motsepe, who becomes the seventh (7th) person
to occupy the position of CAF President, begins
his four-year term after being elected unopposed
by the Member Associations of CAF, in Rabat.



Going to the General Assembly, Africa adopted a
unity stance which saw other three candidates,
namely Augustin Senghor, Ahmed Yahya and Jacques
Anouma withdraw from the race to be President.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who was in
attendance in Rabat in his remarks in the General
Assembly commended the African Member Associates
for the unity they have displayed in the last few
weeks.

Dr. Motsepe, 59, is an accomplished South African
businessman and philanthropist and no stranger to
football. For almost two decades, he has been the
President of a South African club, Mamelodi
Sundowns.
