South Africa's Patrice Motsepe Re-Elected as CAF President

South African mining magnate Patrice Motsepe has been re-elected unopposed as Confederation of African Football (CAF) president for a second term.

The 63-year-old Motsepe, whose family trust owns one of the continent's biggest clubs, Mamelodi Sundowns, has expressed his commitment to building on the progress achieved during his tenure. He will serve four more years until 2029. 

Samuel Eto'o, the former Cameroon international, was elected to the CAF executive committee. His election as a representative for the Central African region comes less than a week after he won an appeal to stand for the post.
