“We welcome players from the new divisions and we are trying to set the tone for the year based on how we are intending to do things as a club.
“We need to be as professional as we can, and the only way to do that is through education and imparting information,” he explains.
He adds that they are worried about the high number of youth committing suicide and that as a club it is their responsibility to reach out to their players.
“We are trying to fill the gap by teaching them how to deal with personal issues, stress and anger.
“It is our responsibility as a club to educate them about emotional and mental health,” says Nkabinde.
