Pitso Mosimane opens academy in the township

The Pitso Mosimane Football Club has arrived to start development in Mamelodi, Tshwane.

PITSO MOSIMANE FOOTBALL CLUB OPENS IN MAMELODI

In case you don’t remember, the iconic coach launched the Pitso Mosimane Soccer Schools initiative in 2023. Many of the participating schools are Curro schools and in higher-income areas outside the townships.

The new Pitso Mosimane Football Club has broken into the township space. The first project was launched in Mamelodi this week.

3 000 kids attended trials for boys and girls u7 to u15. The Pitso Mosimane Football Club also invested money to refurbish a field in the Mamelodi area.

“The reason we are supporting the Pitso Mosimane Foundation is that now we are rekindling the meaning of this facility, and that’s why we are here and it’s a thumbs up to Pitso Mosimane,” said Councilor Diamond Mashau of Ward 23 in Mamelodi via SABC.

“The reason we are supporting the Pitso Mosimane Foundation is that now we are rekindling the meaning of this facility, and that’s why we are here and it’s a thumbs up to Pitso Mosimane,” he added.

“You must remember, this is self-funding from the Pitso Mosimane Foundation of this particular process, and they just came here in Mamelodi Ward 23 and said, ‘We are prepared to invest in this particular area.’

“So we said, ‘No, you are welcome.’ Because, if you check, we have many facilities within our community that are just depleting on a daily basis, they don’t have meaning anymore and are just facilities because there are structures there.

“But for Pitso Mosimane Foundation to come and say, ‘We are going to invest, and if the city will come and join us while we are busy, it will be a blessing.’

“That’s why we have welcomed them with both hands, and the community is happy about this particular process,” he concluded.

KAIZER CHIEFS

Meanwhile, Pitso Mosimane remains linked with a move to Chiefs next season. The Kagiso-born coach is currently trying to save Abha Club in Saudi Arabia from relegation. The coach known as “Jingles” signed a four-month deal that will end in May.
