Welcoming the heroes home, Michael Moatshe of the Limpopo Department of Sports, Arts and Culture encouraged locals to play indigenous games.
“Welcome home, our pride and joy, and thank you for representing Limpopo well and putting our province on the map.
“Let’s go back to the days wherein children played dibeke till the sun went down. Playing these games teaches kids social skills and at the same time, gives them good exercise.”
