Do you ever get the feeling of déjà vu? Like you’re witnessing the same thing over and over again. Well, if you’re an African football fan, you might’ve had that feeling recently…   About four years ago Ahmad Ahmad promised change following his CAF presidential election. Four years later and African football is still mired in corruption and dysfunction.    On March 12th South African billionaire Patrice Motsepe was elected unopposed as CAF’s new president. Like Ahmad Ahmad before him, Motsepe has promised a transformation and a brighter future.    Today we ask, what does the election of Patrice Motsepe mean for the future of African football?   Guest:   Samindra Kunti (@samindrakunti) is a football journalist for Inside World Football.   Support Us: https://www.patreon.com/FootballToday Follow Us: @FT_Podcast_ www.FootballTodayPodcast.com Music: The music for this episode was provided under the Creative Commons license by Blue Dot Sessions. ‘Verdigris’ by Blue Dot Sessions ‘Partly Sage’ by Blue Dot Sessions ‘Jog to the Water’ by Blue Dot Sessions ‘The Face of Thrush’ by Blue Dot Sessions ‘White Limit’ by Blue Dot Sessions ‘Peacetime’ by Blue Dot Sessions Clips Used: France 24
