The tournament which was hosted by Youth Invest was couple with traditional food expo and African crafts exhibition.

Tournament director Mgcini Moyo said, “It was a good initiative which brought locals to celebrate Africa Day and at the same time brought money to local women.”

 

A league approach was carried out with 4 teams playing namely, Ajax, Power stars, VIP Mosi and Mkanya. A tally of points was made for each game played with the team with most points, Ajax winning the tournament and an African inspired cup.

As part of the stakeholder initiative local Chidobe women prepared African Delicacies to sell at the grounds.

Local Women Venus Ncube says she was very happy the tournament was held in their village as this not only had a monetary benefit but it brought exposure for the Curios they sell as Siyazenzela Arts, Crafts and Village tours hub.
