BULAWAYO Chiefs visited Founders High School for a career guidance workshop on Friday.
The club took the onus to educate the youths on the opportunities presented by sport and academics. The club was led by assistant coach Thulani Sibanda.
They have a policy which focuses on the development of the community.
In a statement, the club said;
“Bulawayo Chiefs football club visited Founders High School for a Career Guidance workshop on Friday the 17th of June.
“The major theme of the four-hour session was to educate the youngsters about the opportunities that sports can present, social responsibility, and the importance of their academics.
“Spearheaded by Bulawayo Chiefs assistant coach Thulani Sibanda, present were players who have played at the highest level of African football such as Perfect Chikwende, Kelvin Madzongwe, Kevin Moyo, and Wilson Mensah.
“To add to the guest list were Bulawayo Chiefs captain and vice-captain Malvin Mkolo and Lucky Ndlela.
“The team was also accompanied by the Chiefs Media and Marketing department.”
The club added:
“Madzongwe gave the students words of wisdom on how to balance both school work and sports.
“He added that it is a grave mistake to choose one over the other as both are equally important in bringing up a well-mannered individual.
“Also Ndlela motivated the students not to allow their backgrounds to determine their future.
“He put forward the view that he grew up in a difficult environment and circumstances but he never allowed that to (affect) his future plans.
“Assistant coach Sibanda also enlightened the students on the opportunities that sports can bring.
“He also touched on the diversity of work and gender in the sporting field and gave first-hand examples.”
