R30 000 at stake on Saturday
BOPHELONG.- The Duku Duku Super16 Winter Soccer Tournament will conclude this coming weekend.
The 4th annual Kasi football tournament began over the long weekend earlier this month with knockout stages and will conclude on Saturday. There will be action galore with the big guns in kasi football and the winner will smile all the way to the bank with a R30 000 cheque.
The tournament organisers promise a humdinger come Saturday. The finals will take place at France's dusty soccer ground in Ext 15, Movhango. The day's programme will start at 9:00 with the first semi-final and 12:00 with the second semi-final.
There will be curtain raisers for the final as local soccer legends will face each other to entertain the crowd.
Speaking to Sedibeng Ster Sport, Molife 'Duku Duku' Mahlangu said this year's tournament saw some exciting new talent all over Sedibeng.
He told Sedibeng Ster Sport that there will be a hive of activities on the day of the final, with local soccer fans expected to come in big numbers to watch the much-anticipated match.
Mahlangu said Bophelong is expected to come to a standstill.
'I can't wait, and believe the soccer fans also can't wait for Saturday. We witnessed a high standard of football since the start of the tournament. I do not doubt that we will be spoiled with exciting football. We thank the Bophelong and Movhango communities for their support since the tournament started. I do not doubt that they enjoyed the talent that was displayed. We also thank every supporter, especially our stakeholders. Duku Duku Tournament is a platform to showcase local talent. We always invite scouts,' said Mahlangu.

Give credit where it is due!
SEDIBENG.- They say give credit where it is due! This is exactly what Zakes' Sports Corner is going to do. For a change, there were positive developments taking place in Vaal football over the long weekend. For example, FAR Post and Lucky Star Pilchards hosted a massive coaching workshop and soccer clinic for local boys and girls. This was also in partnership with Orlando Pirates superstar Relebohile Mofokeng. It was an exciting football programme with school kids getting free soccer lessons from the coaches and soccer legends. This is what Zakes' Sports Corner wants to see happen in this region. This region, especially coaches and young players, deserves much better. Give credit where it is due, and this is exactly what Zakes' Sports Corner is going to do: give credit to those who organise unique programmes. It has been a while since something like this happened in this region. The only thing that is taking place in the area is this so-called Kasi football. Like Zakes' Sports Corner said in previous columns, Vaal football is all about Kasi football. Zakes' Sports Corner wants to thank FAR Post and Lucky Star Pilchards for their initiative. Adding to the joy, Mofokeng became the latest player to launch his own foundation. This foundation was launched over the weekend with big names such as Kaizer Chiefs legend Doctor Khumalo and others attending the Gala Dinner. This is what Zakes' Sports Corner means when I say positive developments were happening in the Vaal over the long weekend. Somebody, give credit where it is due!
