Motaung previously served as Kaizer Chiefs’ Football Manager, overseeing club operations, player signings and coaching appointments.
Motaung remains a key figure at the Soweto giants but admits that he is occypying more of a support role to the current management structure.
He told Marawa Sports Worldwide: “There’s certain things we can’t step aside from, the Chiefs legacy, the chairman’s legacy.
“I’m part of the family. I’m part of the organisation. I’m serving the organisation. We’re serving. The game has grown. The challenges have grown. There’s more hands in the game.
“There are more technical issues happening. There are more dynamics. There are more new technologies. Things are happening.
“The game has grown, but you give a chance to change and to grow, old school is there, but remember, there’s new things happening, technology and others.
“So my focus is more about giving back with experience and supporting the new generation. And I think the new generation, for them to learn and to know, it takes a bit of experience.

“Experience you only gain when you go through thick and thin, but I’m there as the elder one. I’m there through and through. I’ll never depart. I’ll never be away. I’m part of the system.”
Amakhosi are busy preparing to face rivals Orlando Pirates in the Soweto derby this weekend and have been using all the resources avaialable to them to prepare for the tie.
“You know where I come from, people used to think I sign this, I do this. So it’s not me now. There’s a scouting structure. There’s structural developments that are happening. There are structural growth, there are dynamics. Things are happening the game is grown,” continued Motaung.
“I mean, you need Sport Science now. You need analysts. For me to recommend a player now I must put him on AI and then maybe he becomes the best player.
“Before we used to go to the bush, but I think the game has changed. You must also understand that technology has also changed. So the team has grown.”
