Gor Mahia should learn from SA's Cape Town City FC

Gor Mahia players celebrate winning the 2017 SportPesa Super Cup in Tanzania on July 5,

One of the youngest football clubs on the continent is South Africa’s Cape Town City FC. Ideally, it has been in existence for only two years. It was not formed in 2016 per se, but was reformed then and the club that can pass as its parent was formed by dairy workers in 1937.

The parent club collapsed, so to write, and its franchise rights were bought by a businessman who re-formed the Cape Town City FC. So, while its parent is much older than most clubs that play in the Kenya Premier League (KPL), Cape Town City FC itself is very young, so young that you are tempted to ask why the same title shirt sponsor of Kenya’s two biggest — and probably oldest — clubs decided to be their title sponsor too.
