Head coach Rulani Mokwena has thrown down the gauntlet to the rest of Africa by insisting his Mamelodi Sundowns side will continue to get better after an impressive away win over Coton Sport in Cameroon on Friday.
Sundowns clinched a classy 3-1 win at the Roumde Adjia Stadium to lead Group B in the CAF Champions League with a perfect record of two wins from their opening two matches.

Emerging star Cassius Mailula scored a first-half brace with defender Khuliso Mudau also on the score-sheet.
In an ominous sign to teams on the continent, Mokwena warned that his inexperienced side would only get better.
"We will get better, we have to get better," Mokwena said post-match.
"A lot of my players are playing for the first time in the Champions League. Cassius [Mailula] for the first time Champions League, Tebza [Teboho Mokoena] for the first time in the Champions League.
"Ronwen Williams also, as we had Denis Onyango last campaign as our first-choice, also Mvala Grant Kekana, Marcelo Allende and so many others.
"So this is the experience we'll get and we will improve and get better even after beating a very good side, a very physical side with a lot of technicality.
"Congratulations to the team, I'm very proud of them."
Sundowns are set to continue their continental tour with a visit next to defending champions Al Ahly in Egypt in a Group B clash on Saturday.
Kick-off is at 21:00 (SA time).
