Rise Africans Newspaper brings you another wonderful story by brave young Africans who do much for their community. Sazi Mthethwa is from a small town called “iLfracombe”, KwaZulu Natal Province in South African.
Coach Sazi or Coach Neymar as popularly known, is very passionate about football and love to see every kid given a chance to prove his/her talent.
“I was raised by my grandparents after my parents passed away when I was young. Like any other kid, I started playing soccer at the age of 5. It is in my veins, and it is like a culture. Sazi Lions Football Club is busy inspiring and encouraging Youth to showcase their talents and never give up their dreams. I am proud of my self even though its hard because of lack of equipments. I still use stones and shoes to size the field so that the players can enjoy playing football”, said coach Sazi.
Ladies are also enjoying playing football at Sazi Lions Ladies FC. “Anything is possible, our ladies team is doing much better. There are lots of challenges however, there were few players who shown interest in the beginning till inviting girls to come to join the team”, he added.
Around November 2023, ladies team became strong and challenged a team from Umlazi called Young Lions Ladies. They lost by 5 – 2 but it was a motivation for them. Sazi Lions Ladies FC just won the tournament making Coach Sazi one of the best coaches around. A hope is to attract more sponsors because players do not have soccer boots and use same soccer kits with the boys.
Coach Sazi is pleading to anyone who want to sponsor a club to contact him:
