“I'm a businesswoman with a vision to plough back to the community through sports tournaments for the under 15 and 17. Growing up in difficult background has motivated me to organise this initiative to help football teams from disadvantage communities.”

It will be a top-eight knockout tournament hosted at Yizo Yizo ground in Vanderbijlpark on 19 and 20 February. She’s proudly named it the Gushadee Development Tournament.

“I want to plough back to the community because I know what it is like to grow up in a difficult environment. I personally come from a disadvantage background, and I want to help as much as I can for these youngsters to realize their football dreams.

"My upbringing was not easy and my parents taught me the spirit of giving and sharing that is why I share the little that I have with my community. I want to help as much as I can to uplift the community that I'm living in especially young people through sports.”

What a beautiful initiative and such a selfless act of kindness!
