Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Rhulani Mokwena has likened SuperSport United manager Gavin Hunt to a honey badger because he is always able to come up with solutions where other coaches would struggle.

SuperSport United, who face Sundowns on Monday, showed how dangerous they were in the corresponding fixture earlier in the season.

SuperSport are one of only two teams to have beaten Sundowns this season in the league, something that hasn't left Mokwena's mind.

While Sundowns head into the Tshwane derby 13 points ahead of their rivals in second place, Mokwena emphasised that his players must work hard and show respect to the opposition as they have a manager that is never short of solutions. "There was a time, I think a couple of years ago, where Gavin Hunt made reference to a honey badger.
