Thembalethu Foundation praised for women’s soccer support

THEMBALETHU Southern Region Women Soccer League vice-chairperson Catherine Mavada has commended the progress of the league.

Mavada said despite the teams facing problems such as transport money, clubs have put in extra efforts towards fulfilling fixtures.

“The league is running smoothly, a lot of teams have managed to fulfil their matches despite facing problems such as transport costs, we have managed to register all the players and the games are being officiated by qualified referees,” she said.

Mavada went on to thank main sponsors Thembalethu Foundation for their tiresome work of improving the living conditions of the girl child in Zimbabwe through sport.

“I would like to thank Thembalethu Foundation for supporting the girl child through sport, a lot of lives have been changed by this league and it is within my greatest hopes that they continue changing the lives of the people of Zimbabwe,” said Mavada.
