“This is good for school children as they have managed to interact and it gives them exposure,” said Matonga.
“The tournament has grown, we used to take a few schools on board but now we have stretched to far away places like Kadoma.
“We are also grateful to the sponsors, Zimplats, who will be on board for the next two years. I was very impressed with the talent I saw today and we are looking forward to organise a Ngezi Select team and introduce girls’ soccer as well,” Matonga said.
