adminThe workshop, which was organised by Joseph Nkomazana, had former Highlanders striker Tobias Mudyambanje and Caf instructor Gibson Homela as instructors.
Out of 18 participants, 13 passed. Nkomazana expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the Macingwane project and said he hoped this development would make a difference in terms of football development in the area.
“The clinic was quite excellent and we are hoping that this drive will make a difference in the community in terms of sport development. I am grateful to our sponsor, Obedingwa Mguni,” he said.
Nkomazana also paid tribute to Homela and Mudyambanje for what he described as a sterling job.
“This is the beginning of a great project in the Mangwe District and with resources permitting, we hope to spread the project to all outlying areas,” he said.
Nkomazana said the objective was to establish a soccer academy in the Macingwane area.
All the coaches that were presented with certificates also got a full kit, four soccer balls, two sets of training bibs, training cones and a whistle each for their schools or clubs.
A Level Two coaching clinic is expected to be held sometime this year.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony, the sponsor, Mguni, called on parents to encourage their children to play football which he said had become a well paying career globally.
Local Chief Wasi Ndiweni and Mangwe Rural District Council’s Chief Executive Officer Nketha Dlamini attended the ceremony.
