Yesterday on the first day of the annual KwaMahlobo festive season tournament, Christmas came prematurely for the elders of Meadowlands, Soweto. A 100 food hampers, together with LaLiga merchandise were gifted to 100 MaGogos in celebration of the contribution they have made in the community of Soweto and significantly aiding in raising the next South African football stars.

This was the first time the games have accommodated the elderly in their programme, with South African U20 Men’s National Team Coach, Thabo Senong in attendance and assisting in handing out the gifts.

This endeavour was in partnership with LaLiga, SAFA (South African Football Association and the City of Johannesburg.
