tournament. This transpired in yesterday’s presentation, which was graced by
the presence of EFA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Frederick Mngomezulu, Build it
Human Resources Manager Gladwin Hillary and Nhlangano Build it Store Manager
Musa Patel at the Nhlangano Build it store. When presenting the replica cheque,
Hillary said it was their utmost pleasure to give the E10 000 to the Player of
the Tournament as per their promise. “We are happy to be here to present E10
000 to our Build it Development tournament’s Best Player, who is from

He said the money would be used towards the future star’s academic needs, as
they also prioritised education. “Developing talent goes hand-in-hand with
developing education. We would like to congratulate Wenkhosi for this milestone.
He has made Shiselweni proud,” he said. Meanwhile, EFA, through Mngomezulu,
expressed their gratitude to Build it for the 17-year-old partnership in
developing football in the country. He stated that the tournament started in
Mbabane and spread throughout the country. It has resulted in the unearthing of
talent players who went on to play for the national team, Sihlangu. “I would
like to congratulate Wenkhosi for his exploits in the tournament. He is now part
of the junior national team set up,” Mngomezulu said.
The EFA general secretary hoped that the player would continue to play the sport
and graduate to the senior national team, Sihlangu. “I would like to thank his
parents and coach for nurturing him and we are hoping to see him growing in the
sport. In the past we used to send the players for an attachment at Amazulu,”
he said. Mngomezulu further revealed that Build it invested over E1 million a
year towards the development of the sport in the country, and they were happy
that the store had assured them to continue sponsoring the tournament.
