Pretoria’s own super soccer club, Mamelodi Sundowns, celebrated their official 50th birthday this past weekend.

It is well known that over the past few years a very close bond has been built between this club and the Blue Bulls, Pretoria’s other super sports union and champion team.

The two clubs/sports unions not only share the facility of Loftus Versfeld as a stadium, but there is also joint ownership in the professional legs of the two organizations with dr. Patrice Motsepe who owns the football club, while also being a shareholder of the Blue Bulls Company.

To celebrate Mamelodi Sundowns’ birthday, the president of the Blue Bulls Rugby Union, Willem Straus, handed over a special bronze statue – a miniature replica of the storming Bull statue in front of Loftus Versfeld – to dr. Motsepe.
