Total South Africa is partnering with 32 schools across the country.

The Total Group is a proud sponsor of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the title sponsor for the Total Africa Cup of Nations 2019 in Egypt, which will kick-off Friday, June 21.

In celebration of the sponsorship and in the spirit of African sports talent, Total South Africa is partnering with 32 schools across the country, in nine provinces to ignite football talent and nurture the soccer culture.

The school games will make provision for 14 boys and 14 girls in each grade to play a soccer game to stand a chance to be selected as the top boy and girl player of their grade.

These top players will then participate in skills-based soccer activities for a talent scout to select the best players from each school. The winners of each school will be part of a lucky draw to win tickets to attend one of the Bafana Bafana Games in Egypt.

On Tuesday, June 11, Total South Africa held their AFCON School Tournament at Nkathutho Primary School in Dube.

The learners were excited to participate in the exciting activities and in addition to the soccer activities, there was a safety session at the school to highlight the importance of Road Safety in a fun and engaging way.

Each learner was given an educational Road to Safety activity booklet with colouring in pencils and reflective stickers that can be worn on clothing to be more visible on the road.

“The African continent is the cornerstone of Total’s global presence, and this partnership allows us to deepen our already strong roots and strengthen our ties with stakeholders and fellow Africans.
