Caf President Patrice Motsepe says his administration will be judged based on tangible results, not ideas and good talk.
The South African said this at Caf’s 13th Extraordinary General Assembly in Egypt yesterday, Friday, November 26.
This was after officially confirming their support for a biennial Fifa World Cup and approving the African Super League.
“This leadership of Caf will not be judged on ideas or nice talk. My leadership and our leadership will be judged on the progress we make,” Motsepe said.
“It will be judged on tangible results and benefits to African football.
He added: “Of course we have to be impatient because we cannot keep on making excuses over what past leaders did or didn’t do.
“We have been elected to solve problems of this continent and that is what we must do.
“I am impatient, but I also have to keep in mind that the results won’t happen overnight.”
Patrice Motsepe also spoke about a need to build and strengthen partnerships that will ensure that in the mid-to-long term, Africa is self-sustainable.
“Africa will do what is in the interest of Africa, this is clear. As Africa, we will look at what our interests are, and we will work with whoever shares these interests.
“This is not against anybody but a firm belief for us, as Africans, to develop our continent.
“We are open to working with everyone, as long as our interests are aligned.”
