Lucas Radebe, the legendary figure from both Bafana Bafana and Leeds United, is gearing up to lead a squad of South African football icons in a thrilling match against the Moletjie legends.
This exciting game is part of the birthday festivities for Kgoshi Kgabo Moloto III.
The matchup was officially announced on Thursday during the launch event for the Kgoshi Kgabo Moloto III Cup, which took place at the royal residence in Moletjie, located just outside Polokwane.
The event attracted a host of former football stars, including Tlou Segolela, who previously played for Orlando Pirates, Thabiso Semenya from Polokwane City, and Elias Ngwepe, a former left-back for Mamelodi Sundowns.
The star-studded lineup promises a fantastic showcase of talent on the field.
A Month of Celebrations and Competition
This year’s tournament is set to kick off on Saturday, November 4, 2023, with the grand finale taking place on Saturday, November 30.
The match featuring Radebe’s squad will serve as a curtain raiser before the final, bringing together local football fans for an unforgettable experience.
In addition to the football match, the celebrations will also feature a marathon and a fundraising gala dinner, ensuring a weekend packed with activities.
Honoring the Chief with Purpose
The chief’s decision to celebrate his birthday through a football tournament and marathon speaks volumes about his commitment to his community.
According to CEO Letladi Moloto, Kgoshi Kgabo III has opted to forego traditional birthday gifts.
Instead, he has encouraged people to donate towards an educational program aimed at supporting children from Moletjie.
“The chief wants the focus to be on giving back. Today’s launch aimed to raise awareness and funds for this noble cause,” Moloto explained.
“Our primary goal is to gather resources to assist local children in their educational pursuits.”
Local Heroes Shine in the Tournament
The tournament will feature teams composed of champions from various local competitions, organized by notable figures like Segolela and Semenya.
All events will take place at the Moletjie soccer field, ensuring that the community can come together to celebrate and support this worthy initiative.
The anticipation is building for a remarkable month of sportsmanship, generosity, and community spirit.
