With Percy Tau getting into his groove at Al Ahly this season, Rulani Mokwena revealed why he prefers not to speak about the Bafana Bafana international as Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly go head-to-head this weekend.

One of the tasks Mokwena will have on his hands at the Loftus Versveld Stadium is to keep Tau quiet, something Sundowns have managed to do in the past three matches, with Tau yet to find the back of the net against his former side.
Asked whether Sundowns will be able to keep Tau quiet again on Saturday, Mokwena was careful in his assessment of the 28-year-old, based on the opinion he holds of the Witbank-born star.
"Percy Tau is playing completely different in the last 3 games, compared to how he played against us. In Cairo he played three different positions in 90 minutes," Mokwena told the media at the club's Chloorkop base.
"But he's a very good player, one of our best exports and I don't speak too much about him because he is not a Mamelodi Sundowns player so I've got to have a lot of respect for how I speak about players that are not my players, and of course, I am a little biased in my opinion of Percy, so I try not to say too much, so I will leave it at that," he said.
A win for Sundowns on Saturday will see them all but qualify for the quarterfinal of the CAF Champions League, while a win for Al Ahly could see them go level on points with Sundowns on seven points.
