The KLG Ma-Afrika Freedom Cup is one of the projects run under the auspices of KLG Sport. It was conceived as an educational tournament to raise awareness of the local communities off the freedom struggle in this country.
Lebaleng Shining Stars won the title two weeks ago after edging out Bokgaga Juventus Happy Stars 2-0 in the exciting finals hosted at the Soccer City facility in Lephepane.
The focus of all KLG Sport-affiliated teams is now on the raging league battle in both the Super and Premier divisions of this wonderful soccer league. Both Lebaleng and Royal Celtic campaign in the elite Premier division of the KLG Soccer League.
However, the Ma-Afrika finals had somehow pitted a Premier division club (Lebaleng Shining Stars) and a Super division opponent (Bokgaga Juventus).
