Tim Sukazi is being himself, and running his own race

TIM Sukazi is the masterr of his destiny. The fact that he’s either out with the players or the fans on match-day beating his drums, personifies what he’s all about.

Sukazi turned from an agent to a football administrator when he formed his own club, Tim Sukazi Galaxy, 10 years ago before buying a status in the NED in 2018.

The club succeeded in just one season in the NFD in 2019, becoming the first lower-ranked side to win the country’s elite domestic cup competition, the Nedbank Cup.

And since then, Sukazi never looked back. He ensured that he quenched his thirst of getting a seat at the main table, buying the elite status of Highlands Park in 2020.

Like a man running his own personal fiefdom and wanting to show off that he’s swimming with the big fish, Sukazi made some bold moves.

He incredibly took the entire team for camp to Turkey during the January break in 2022, something that backfired badly as the club was left without money - to even pay players.

Of course, those who felt that he was out of his depth and was better off as an agent than an administrator thought that he’d eventually sink and never get up.
