South Africa’s (SA) Kaizer Chiefs board member Jessica Motaung has stepped down from her long-standing role as Marketing Director at the South African football giants to focus on broader global sports initiatives and administration across the continent.
Speaking during an official visit to Botswana in her capacity as Deputy Chairperson of the African Club Association (ACA), Motaung confirmed that while she is relinquishing her day-to-day marketing duties at Amakhosi, she will retain her seat on the Kaizer Chiefs board of Directors.
Beyond her responsibilities with the ACA executive and sub-committees at the SA Football Association (SAFA) and the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Motaung is expanding her focus to multi-sport development through a new global project, the United League of Sports (ULS), expressing her excitement to remain on the Kaizer Chiefs board while applying her experiences from the club to international initiatives, which include recent discussions in New York with the NBA regarding multi-sport opportunities.
Motaung’s visit to Gaborone formed part of an ACA outreach campaign designed to engage Botswana Premier League clubs, assess regional governance challenges, and tailor institutional support across Africa, with the administrator emphasizing that directly understanding local league dynamics and listening to individual team challenges, rather than prescribing generic solutions, is critical for structuring effective membership benefits and empowerment programmes.
