Bishop Mosa Sono of Grace Bible Church donated the fitness equipment to the club and helped fix the field in Zone 2 where they do their training.
Adelaide Kutoana said people from Pimville should know about Sivukile and the benefits of being part of the club.
“We are also appreciative of what the bishop has done for us,” said Kutoana.
