Sono shares delight at son Rulani Mokwena's record-breaking Sundowns success

Footballing legend Julius "KK" Sono reveals his pride at the excellent job his son Rulani Mokwena is doing in leading Mamelodi Sundowns to a record-breaking campaign.

Mokwena's Brazilians lead the DStv Premiership standings by an incredible 23 points while having set the record for consecutive victories.

Sundowns have now sought to translate their dominance of local football to Africa in lifting the CAF Champions League. 

"He started coaching at the age of 17.

"Nobody is going to beat Rulani because I'm the one who is watching his back," Sono tells KickOff.

"The only thing he must rectify is to teach his players not to use others to rest like they did against Pirates.

"The problem is he is still using the very same team Sundowns started the season with.

"They only rotate the midfielders. In the midfield they are changing too much. Meaning they are overworking the defence and their strike-force.

"Khuliso Mudau should be rested. He should stay out for at least one month.

"Truly speaking all our best players in South Africa at the moment are playing for a winning team in Mamelodi Sundowns.

"There's a couch of coaches there at Sundowns which is Rulani, coaches are sitting comfortably on that couch, the couch that is Rulani makes the other coaches stay at the club comfortable.

"When I speak to him I call him 'Couch Of Coaches' i-sofa lama coach.

"Whichever coach Sundowns they put next to Rulani, that coach will be able to win. I'm voting for the brain.

"He's got the same brains as his grandfather Scara Sono who happens to be me and Jomo's father."
