Fans react to Motaung's tears
Orlando Pirates needed three goals to secure all three points in a come-from-behind victory over Kaizer Chiefs in a sold-out Soweto Derby on Saturday afternoon.
Ashley Du Preez bagged a brace for the Glamour Boys on the day with Monnapule Saleng's double and Thabiso Lebitso's wonder strike helping the Buccaneers up to second place in the DStv Premiership table with a 3-2 win.
It's been yet another difficult season for Amakhosi, with their defeat to the Sea Robbers seeing them suffer their seventh loss in the league and sliding down to seventh in the table.
Chiefs' Marketing and Commercial Director, Jessica Motaung made her way down to the pitch after the game and was seen shedding a tear after a tough loss for Cavin Johnson's men.
The emotional scenes from Amakhosi's marketing guru shocked users on Twitter/X, with many speculating on whether there's something going on behind the scenes.
Here are some of the reactions shared online:
Jessica Motaung crying on the pitch. It's the first time I see her like this, she is genuinely hurt. This I suspect is she knows her brother's have not been taking football decisions for the club.

Whoever thinks Jessica Motaung was crying fake tears needs to think again. The Giants have fallen, Nike pulling out was the first sign.

Could this be the reason why Jessica Motaung was seen crying, after the game. She made a promise to the President and she failed to deliver the win. Wow...she must be voted to be a President of SA. She understands service delivery. ?? pic.twitter.com/t3Grls5aER
