Sundowns are hard at work preparing for the clash against Bloemfontein Celtic at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, with the two sides battling it out for the Ziwa Mo prize money of R4.25million.
As is policy at Chloorkop, the players share the full prize money, so with 30 registered players, each is expected to take home approximately R140,000 before tax, while on the other hand Celtic players will share R2.1m if they emerge victorious.
However, Sandilands insisted in a conversation with Football411 that "money is the furthest thing" from their minds as they bid to end a five-season silverware drought.
"This is the first time I'm actually thinking or talking about the bonus. I think money is the furthest thing from our minds right now and we are just hungry to try win the match so we can put this club where it is supposed to be," the 29-year-old told this site.
The Brazilians have endured a torrid time in the PSL this season, and only recently hoisted themselves off the foot of the table, leaving the Tshwane giants desperate for a quick turn-around.
"We are all hurting. We are all frustrated. We are frustrated because of the way the season has penned out so we are trying to turn this around," Sandilands added.
