The excitement the
learners had when the school was being branded with Mavu Sport Development
branding, they immediately screamed in jubilation offering they help to our
Marketing and communication Intern, Mr J Mthombeni. The tournament started at
10:00am and both the sporting codes commenced with their daily schedule.
Vredefort primary played their opening Netball game vs Mokwallo primary winning
9-3. Surprisingly the football was mostly dominated by the visitors Mokwallo
primary, going to win the final against Mavu squad FC.
“People never forget
how you make them feel”, over hearing Mr Hlalele give a compliment to Mavu
Sport Development and appreciating the efforts put to make these events
something to remember.
“Being at the schools
and seeing students filled with dramatic excitement and the chanting, passion
behind the fierce rivalry. It hit me we need to do more, perseverance in the
face of adversity…are and should be the stories coming out of the Vredefort
community. Mountains, shanty houses, muddy puddles beautiful game through the eyes of the kids. The future of our country, the youth, and our future leaders in all spheres of life/occupation need all the support they can get. Please be aware on the 14-15 July 2018 we will be hosting women in sport workshops, strictly for female coaches, venue hasn’t been confirmed yet. If you don’t follow us by now please do,
