Mochudi Centre Chiefs’ commercialisation drive is taking shape with reports that South African entrepreneur, Errol Dicks has expressed interest in running the commercial affairs of the club.

Dicks, through his company FC Cape Town, has since submitted a proposal to the club’s management, which is still being scrutinised. Club spokesperson, Jabu Mookodi confirmed yesterday that they are reviewing the proposal and attending to a few loose ends. “We are just making sure that the contract is more favourable to the club.

Mookodi said the club management has met several times and they are at a stage where they only left with tying loose ends and then take off. He said in principle, what Dicks offers the Kgatleng giants is what the club has been looking for. “It is just a matter of time before everything can be broken down, fine tuned, agreed upon and then launched,” he said.
