“Due to financial constraints, she can’t afford to buy me all the required items,” said Siyanda.
Siyanda said he promise to raise the flag of Unity Secondary and South Africa high in Sweden during the Youth World Cup.
“I will share my skills and what I will learn with other soccer players in my community when I come back,” said the learner who is doing Grade 11.
Anyone who would like to assist Siyanda with his requested items may contact him on 068 578 1175 or 065 307 1595. You can also send an email at siyandasinci@gmail.com.
