Youth’s capabilities displayed for Mother’s Day

A Pre-Mothers Day event that was meant to keep the youth away from debauchery showed the community of Diepkloof that their youth are capable of doing great things, so that they would be genuinely proud of them especially their mothers.

The organisers of the event were as enthused about the event as the attendees.
Thokozile Mabena explained that they were trying to bring the youth back from the primrose path and the streets so that their parents can see them grow up to be responsible adults.

Mabena said, “We are celebrating our mothers and showing them that we are capable of having fun in a responsible way.”
The youth from around Diepkloof’s neighbouring communities like Orlando and Meadowlands all came to compete in the One Pole soccer challenge.

Keabetswe Loate, one of the participants said, “This looks like a very exciting tournament. I’m so thrilled to be here.”

The gogos from Tlakukani, the organisation for the old ladies participated in a street soccer match as well.
Napo Pholoane, another organiser for the event said, “The event was to bring the people and the youth together and out of the streets so that their minds can stay sharp to achieve tangible goals.”
Kabelo Montshiwa said, “Thokozile is doing a great job, this will even expose the talents of the kids to the community. We hope the community, especially the mothers enjoyed the street soccer tourbnament.”
