DJ Cleo is redirecting his energies to football with music taking the back seat as he aims to own a soccer club in the PSL in the next five years.
This he revealed on the sidelines of the NFD promotion playoffs currently under way in Mangaung.
The Sohlangana KuFacebook hitmaker, now a football agent under the DFC (Dreams Chased Fulfilled) Sport stable said football was top priority so much that he has now put music on hold.
After failing in his bid to to become a pro goalkeeper at age 34 two years ago, the Wheel of Steel boss says he wants to make a contribution to the sport.
In fact, Cleo has been hard at work during the playoffs since Monday scouting talent for his stable.
According to him, it was only a matter of time before DFC Sport becomes a fully-fledged soccer academy.
At the playoffs by Wednesday, he had identified at least four players who he plans to sign up.
“Truth is music is not profitable anymore,” he said. “However, football is my love, man, always has been but I started too late age-wise to turn professional, so that is how DCF Sport was started… to still contribute.
“Look, I am in no rush because I want to do this the proper way. We are in the planning stages of turning DCF Sport into an academy with the ultimate goal of being in the PSL after five years.”
According to him, the five-year plan included a season in the Second Division and two seasons in the National First Division and then into the top tier.
What was the thinking behind the name – Dreams Chased Fulfilled? “I am a firm believer that in order for one to succeed in whatever they wanna be, they first have to have a dream, then chase it until they have fulfilled it.”
