Rulani Mokwena has broken his silence on reports emerging from North Africa that have suggested that the Mamelodi Sundowns coach has attracted interest from North Africa, particularly in Egypt and Morocco.
Despite being just 36years old, Mokwena has been at the helm of two of the country's biggest clubs in Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.

His attention to small detail and modern tactics have set him apart from his peers and the results are showing on the field and how players have responded to his philosophies.
As is the case with most flourishing coaches, interest is piqued when a coach has displayed the abilities that Mokwena has over the last season, and reports out of North Africa have suggested that both Wydad Casablanca and Al Ahly are said to be monitoring the coach's situation.
Speaking to the media after his side's 5-1 drubbing of Royal AM, Mokwena pledged his loyalty to the Brazilians.
"I'm here and I want to be here for as much as I can and as much as the club wants me, I'm here," he told journalists.
"I'm loyal and I try to be as honest as I possibly can in my day-to-day. I try to serve this club and as long as they appreciate me here and they show that I'm still wanted here and Mamelodi Sundowns has done that since I've taken over. They've supported me and given me everything.
"I've got no reason to turn my back on this football club," he said.
