A plea has been made for South African football to improve as the debate continues on who could eventually stop Mamelodi Sundowns' dominance in the league.
Sundowns were back in action in the Premiership last night and defeated AmaZulu FC 1-0 at the King Zwelithini Stadium to reach 30 points in 10 games, with a 100% win record for the campaign.

The Brazilians have opened a five-point gap with second-placed Cape Town City who have played three games more and it looks like the Chloorkop outfit will be cruising to another title defence again this season.
Speaking exclusively to the Siya crew, former Marabastad Sundowns player Essop 'Smiley' Moosa says the standard of football in Mzansi was affected by the influence of coaches who restricted players from expressing themselves freely on the field with their football skills as the years went by.

"Our football back in the day was good to watch because we were not being coached by people who restricted us and controlled us on what to do. But when people like Eddie Lewis and Joe Frickleton came to coach and started telling us what we can and can't do with the ball with the skills we had, our football was affected," said Moosa.
"Ever since then, that is why our football is not going anywhere. It is because of people like them," concluded Moosa.
