A happy Bongani Duiker, head coach of the Super Tigers said this was the first step to making the dreams of soccer players true and does the academy have more plans for the future.

“This donation will help the academy to function even better. Getting this type of support encourages the players to train harder. I am grateful for everything that Anglo American Platinum has done for us and I hope that their support will grow with the academy,” he said.
