Tottenham are set to sign a £60m sponsorship deal with the South African government.
The north Londoners have been courted by the SA Tourism department which hopes it will help to attract visitors to the country.
The deal, proposed for 36 months, is understood to have been mooted a week ago. Tourism Minister Lindiwe Sisulu is eager for the investment to be made before she is moved out of post in an upcoming cabinet reshuffle by President Cyril Ramaphosa.
