R60 000 for local teams

The LTT Murunwa TVET College Soccer challenge that was launched last Saturday caters for teams under the auspices of the Makhado Local Football Association (MLFA), Soutpansberg region.

The sponsor, Mr Patrick Mudau, director of LTT Murunwa TVET College, said that the sponsorship of R60 000 clearly indicated that his college wanted to serve the community and develop sports in the area. "We are part of this community and we are doing this to support the local people," he said.

The coordinator of Makhado LFA in Soutpansberg region, Mr Mpfariseni Musekwa, said that identifying sport stars at grassroots level was important. He applauded the sponsor for helping to identify the talent in the region.

According to him, seeing that many businesspeople kept all their profit for themselves, without thinking of ploughing anything back into the community, was painful.

The winner of the competition will receive R6 500, a floating trophy, a new soccer kit and gold medals, while the runners-up will receive R5 000, a soccer kit and silver medals. The team that will finish in third position will go home with R4 000 and bronze medals. The team ending fourth will receive R3 000.

The teams ending from fifth to eighth position will receive R9 000 each.
