Aphile Siyamuthanda Buthelezi (17) has been offered a sporting opportunity of a lifetime and needs the community’s support to make it a reality.
Popularly known among his peers as ‘Mshishi’ because of his incredible football skills, he has received an offer to play for West Armenia Football Club in Armenia.
This teenage soccer protégé was born and bred in Vryheid, and claims to have started playing the game at a very young age. In 2018, he played for FC Amen under 15-19. He currently plays for OPOPO FC (SAB League South African 4th Division) as an attacking midfielder; he also plays the position of wing and defensive midfielder.
Mshishi is described as a ‘modern number 10’ because he is a quick, technically gifted player with superb dribbling skills and an excellent first touch. “As an offensive playmaker, I believe I have great vision and am able to deliver precise short passes to my teammates, which enables me to play killer balls. I also believe I am extremely effective in building up play in areas higher up the pitch.”
He is now pleading for help to make his football dream a reality. He needs assistance with his Visa, as he is among the candidates selected to participate in the summer transfer window campaign of the Armenian Premier League season 2023/24. Football Club West Armenia will take care of his accommodation costs during his stay in Armenia.
Mshishi can be contacted on 073 965 9062 or 063 108 0498.
