Langaville Football Club striker Thorollo Motseko (15) explained that playing soccer keeps him busy and away from the social ills many of his peers find themselves involved in.
“I love playing soccer because it keeps me away from drugs and alcohol.
“I benefit a lot from it and I have the chance to make friends who have the same interest as me. My body also benefits due to the regular exercise,” says Motseko.
