Meanwhile, RES Siyakha Programme Manager Sicelo Nene also thanked RES for showing commitment to developing youth football through such a programme, which has turned out to be the centre of attraction, especially for the people around the sugar belt.

We assure you that the equipment will be handled with care as we look forward to bringing more children to play,” he said.
