A business model that has brought TS Galaxy millions of rands

The Rockets released a total of seven players in this window and six of those were straight transfer deals to top Premier Soccer League (PSL) clubs like Mamelodi Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates and the club made some good money from these deals.

Sukazi has more on why this model is important for them.

"Of course, that's a big risk, you know we released players this season. We've lost seven of our starting 11 players. I think Buthelezi [Melusi}, Aubaas [Bathusi], two, Msimango [Given] to Kaizer Chiefs, three, four, Teto [Aphelele] to Livingston in Scotland, five, Traore [Djakaridja] to Istanbulspor AS in Turkey, Nyama [Tshegofatso] yes to Cape Town City, he's the seventh player," Sukazi said.

"We have to be this kind of a club; I think our business model is one whereby we have to dispose of our best assets and then come and invest into the club."

It all started with Given Msimango’s big move to Kaizer Chiefs, then followed by Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Melusi Buthelezi signing for Orlando Pirates, the young Aphelele Teto crossing the Atlantic Ocean to join Livingstone FC in Scotland.

Then another big money move came in the form of Bafana Bafana’s newly found midfield dynamo Bathusi Aubass joining Sundowns, a deal that came with a huge transfer fee for the Mpumalanga based club.

Sukazi makes reference to how big clubs around the world use a similar model.

"This is how the likes of Tottenham Hotspurs were built some years ago. They had to dispose of their best players and they made 100 million pounds and they built on the project and became better and better and now Tottenham Hotspurs is counted amongst the top 4/top 5 in the English Premiership.

So, that's our operating model, it's gotta be like that, we are a self-sustaining club. We don't have a sponsor yet and therefore we have to box very smartly and be very good in the market. I'm sure in this market we were the club that has done most business."
