Local radio presenter Reginald "Moretjetje" Musetha has organised an Easter Weekend Football Tournament, which will be held at the Tshakhumba Grounds in Tshibvumo village, Ha-Rammbuda, this weekend. The tournament starts on Good Friday (7 April) and ends on Sunday (9 April).
According to the disc jockey from the bumpy and mostly rural Rammbuda dynasty, the teams that had been invited to participate in the tournament are the Mutshenzheni Gorillas, Tshapasha Western Chiefs, Rammbuda Young Fighters, Tshibvumo Football Academy and Managa Rising Stars.
"We have selected the best teams in the area. The main aim of this tournament is to enable football scouts to identify young and talented footballers who can make it in the professional ranks," Musetha said.
The tournament has no sponsor at the moment, so Musetha is using his own money to host the tournament. The winning team will walk away with a floating trophy, soccer kit, a ball and R3 000 in cash, while the second placed team will receive a soccer kit, a ball and R1 000.
Musetha assures football fans that the place will be very safe, as security guards will be available to deal with troublemakers. "We are appealing to soccer lovers not to use the grounds as a public tavern. Please, come and support our local football teams," he said.
