A group of “older” people in Bokfontein formed a football team, the Bokkies Warriors, last year to motivate and inspire young people to change their lives.
“There is so much violence, drug abuse and women and child abuse in the informal communities and a concerned group of residents came up with the idea to form an ‘older’ football team to inspire and motivate young people to engage in uplifting activities that benefit body and soul, instead of violence and drugs,” said Pitso Mbewe.
“We want to be role models for the new generation, and of course we enjoy it!”
