Bahumi Tournament concludes community upliftment Initiatives
The organisers of the annual Bahumi Charity Soccer Tournament have hailed the impact of their community development initiative ahead of the long-awaited third edition final.
The tournament will be held at the Kgohloane Black Brothers grounds in Mmotong wa Perekisi-Kgohloane village, Limpopo.
Since its inception three years ago, the tournament’s primary objective has been to give back to the community, especially to poor families and children who lack proper school shoes.

“Using soccer as a mobilizing tool, the event has raised resources to distribute food parcels to those in need,” said tournament coordinator Joshua Kwapa.
“This year, we expanded our reach to include individuals living with disabilities as well as learners from poor families, ensuring they also received food parcels and school shoes.
“Additionally, to promote women’s health and hygiene, we distribute sanitary towels to young women in the community,” he added.
