EVATON.- Thabang Mahlangu received a heroic welcome from the Evaton North (Ward 19) community after returning from Egypt.
This SuperSport United young defender was part of the Amajita team that made history when they were crowned the 2025 African Cup of Nations Champions in Egypt over the weekend. The Amajita team arrived in the country on Tuesday, and the Evaton North community surprised this youngster when they gathered at the Evaton North BP Filling Station to give him a hearty welcome.
There was a traffic jam for a few hours as young and old, especially the football community, took to the streets as they chanted Mahlangu’s name. This former SAFA Sedibeng Hollywood Regionals League Vaal Juventus FC defender represented South Africa with distinction.
Amajita was crowned the AFCON champions and qualified for the U20 World Cup, with Chile as the hosting nation.
Speaking to Sedibeng Ster Sport, Dipopo Lenkoe, who initiated this (the welcome), said it was fitting to give Mahlangu a warm welcome back.
