Sapa Yopa FC take Social Derby bragging rights
SAPA Yopa Football Club (FC) was crowned the winner of the Polokwane Social Derby tournament games after they beat Star Sign FC 5-4 on penalty shootout at Seshego Stadium on Sunday.
POLOKWANE – The Social Derby was the brainchild of Polokwane Social Events and BONUS spoke with the founder, Neo Vega, about the aim and inspiration of the event.
Neo said the Polokwane Social Derby is a leading movement in Polokwane’s sport revolution. “We as the youth of Polokwane believe a healthy lifestyle, sport and friendship complement each other. We are young hardworking successful personalities with the main aim of uniting the youth of Polokwane through sport activities. We encourage love and happiness and also continue to fight diseases through a healthy lifestyle,” he explained.
Sapa Yopa Public Relations Officer, Fortune DJ Cappuccino Maswanganyi, said it was only natural for Sapa Yopa Motorcycle Club to embrace all sporting activities by encouraging participation from their members.
“Even though it was tough, we worked hard to win the tournament. One of the many benefits of regular exercise is increased and sustained energy throughout the day. This energy allows the members to stay focused on the task at hand, giving them the opportunity to deliver their best in each task. A fit and healthy individually tends to have a high level of self-confidence because they have proven to themselves they can accomplish what it takes to obtain a level of physical fitness. A member who maintains a high fitness level tends to be a person in whom others have confidence. Fit members tend to take on more leadership roles because of the many positive benefits of a healthy lifestyle,” DJ Cappuccino said.
He added a member who is fit presents excellent team building opportunities. “We want to encourage people to live healthier lives which is why Sapa Yopa promotes healthy living. I am happy the various sporting code went well and we are humbled by the overwhelming support we received.”
