Time for Khoza to pass the baton

Soccer is a leading sport in South Africa and elsewhere. It is also a multimillion, if not billion, business.

Kaizer Motaung, Irvin Khoza and Jomo Sono have made money out of it because they treated it like business.

That said, Khoza, pictured, is a shrewd administrator and excellent negotiator. As the Orlando Pirates chair, he has taken the team to high levels. Pirates is now a brand and an institution.

Every player wants to play for the team.

Pirates is one of the oldest soccer teams with a rich history. It has produced the likes of Motaung, Sono and Tebogo Moloi. It is also one of the richest teams in South Africa, if not Africa, and enjoys a large following.
