The Economic Freedom Fighters have heaped praise on the University of Cape Town following the move to honour Kaizer Chiefs chairman Kaizer Motaung.
Motaung is the chairman and founder of one of the biggest football clubs in South Africa and he will be honoured with a doctorate by the Mother City university.
The EFF headed online to share a statement on Wednesday and thanked the higher educational institution for the move.
“The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) welcomes the decision by the University of Cape Town (UCT) to bestow South African Football Legend Kaizer Motaung with an Honorary Doctorate,” the party announced on Wednesday.
“The University of Cape Town will on the 22nd of July 2022, honour Ntate Kaizer Motaung with an Honorary Doctorate in Social Sciences, for his tremendous contribution to Sports Development.
“The EFF recognises and salutes the Commander in Chief and President of the EFF, Julius Malema, who at the 2nd National People’s Assembly (NPA) of the organisation, called for Kaizer Motaung to be honoured for his service to the footballing fraternity in Africa.”
Also known ‘Chincha Guluva’ in football circles, Motaung formed Amakhosi in 1970 and turned the Soweto giants into formidable sides in the African continent.
A former footballer himself, Motaung also played in the United States of America between 1960 and 1970 for Atlanta Chiefs before coming back home and forming the club.
According to the City Press, the monumental ceremony to celebrate and honour Motaung’s lasting legacy in football will be held on July 22 in Cape Town.
