Mamelodi Sundowns supporters have voted for the club’s All-Time African Dream Team in celebration of Africa Month.

It wasn’t easy to select the starting eleven on the list of incredibly talented players who have worn the yellow and blue of the country’s record holders for the most championship titles won since the start of the Premier Soccer League era.

Over the years, Sundowns have always explored the polished gems on the continent to strengthen the team and that continues today. It’s highlighted even more now with their consistency in the Caf Champions League.

Some of the supporters’ suggestions are below:

Denis Onyango, who was named the best goalkeeper in Africa last year and made the Caf Best XI alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, was, unsurprisingly, the outright favourite for the No 1 jersey.

To protect the last line of defence, enter former captain Method Mwanjali, the towering figure of Muisi Ajao and Siaka Tiene, who at 38, is still going strong and is Keagan Dolly’s teammate at Montpellier in France.

The midfield oozes class with Esrom Nyandoro, Ernest Mtawali and Roger Feutmba forming the supply chain for goals.

And, who can forget the big, burly Raphael Chukwu?

He led the line for three seasons at Sundowns before moving to Bari in Italy in the late 90s and returned for one final stint in 2004. Chukwu is the Dream Team’s goal-getter.

Supporting him on either flanks in a three-pronged attack, are Anthony Laffor and team manager Peter Ndlovu. Khama Billiat slots in just behind them as a second striker to complete the Africa Dream XI.
