“The association was established in December 2014, running their league games from Geluksdal Stadium but because of financial constraints, we were forced to move to the informal gravel soccer grounds in Langaville.
“Through the grant, we will be able to afford to pay to use the stadium facilities,” he says.
A happy recipient, Kamva Mdakane, says he is happy about the donation because they didn’t have training gear and enough soccer balls.
“Now that we have enough equipment we will be motivated to attend practising sessions.”
