Tsakani – The highly anticipated Dlozified ON-ON Winter Games: Kwatsaduza Top 16 Knockout Challenge was recently launched during a media and stakeholder briefing held at Tsakane Stadium.

Hosted under the tournament tagline Crowning The Kings Of KwaTSaduza, the four-day football spectacle is set to take place from June 13 to 16 across Kwa-Thema Stadium, Duduza Stadium and Tsakane Stadium.

The launch brought together key stakeholders and partners, including Dlozified, High Time Entertainment, the City of Ekurhuleni Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture, EKFM, Upward Spiral 1471, community football structures and local stakeholders.

Former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper, Innocent Mayoyo, said the tournament should not only focus on players, but also on broader football development within communities.

“This game needs to shift its focus from only focusing on players, but develop local talent holistically,” he said.

“This tournament is about restoring pride, unity, and hope within our communities. We want to create opportunities for young people while bringing Kwatsaduza together through sport, entertainment and positive community participation,” Sibeko said.

He added that the tournament also seeks to create meaningful opportunities for young people through sport and engagement.
