Mpumalanga will come alive on Friday
The province will come alive on Friday .
Mpumalanga will come alive this Friday when the Provincial arm of the SA Schools
Football Association gathers at the opulent Mbombela Stadium not to play
football but to reward performance and excellence in development football at
10h00.
“These are the inaugural excellence award ever to be hosted by
organised Schools Football and we believe the awards will go a long way to
motivate the learners to focus on education through sport,“ said Mandla ‘Shoes
Mazibuko’ the National President of SASFA.
The Mpumalanga SASFA Excellence
Awards are part of a series of provincial initiatives that will culminate into
the national awards.
The candidates and nominees have performed at their best
during the various games in 2012/13 season and it was pretty tough to sift
through due to intense contest displayed by the candidates in the field of play,
officiating and administration.
“Mpumalanga Province prides itself on the
fact that some of their own stand tall as they are counted amongst the best
ambassadors, players such as Happy Jele that played in the Copa Coca – Cola
Football Stars whilst he was a learner at Sofunda High School same as Ndumiso
Mabhena who studied at Khothala Secondary in Dennilton and now he is with
Orlando Pirates FC candidates for CAF Championships. We trust that we shall
continue with the trend to afford opportunities whilst keeping a detailed eye
for talent with a view of nurturing it then sour to greater heights” added the
hosting President Sipho ‘Chocolate Ice Cream’ Mabuza.
