SA freestyle footballer breaks Walcott’s record

A ball was dropped from a height of 37.4 metres and Njokwana managed to control it and made five touches.

“I have dreamt about a moment like this since I started playing football as a youngster, I can’t believe it. I am now a world record holder”, said Njokwana.

Njokwana was supported by former Bafana Bafana captain Steven Pienaar.
