Security company uses soccer to promote community spirit in Vryheid

LOCAL security company, Isidingo Security, held a soccer tournament at the Esilweni area as a means to encourage young people to continue taking part in the sport.
“The initial idea was to visit the area and sponsor a jersey for one of the teams there but, after many discussions, we decided to make the teams compete for the jerseys,” said Mr Mduduzi Limako, who manages the local Isidingo branch.
