This week, we present to you a pair of local youngsters, Divine Kundasi and Ruaan Sheik, who are very keen on the beautiful game of football. The aspiring duo have lofty soccer goals in their sights, saying they want to rise in the world of football and hopefully play at the highest level some day. The pair attend the same school, Hillside Primary, but represent different clubs, Delfos FC and Laudium FC respectively. What truly sets the lads apart though, is their vision beyond the game, with both youngsters saying that when they achieve success, they want to donate to the poor and uplift those in need. The Laudium Sun wishes Divine and Ruaan all the best as they work hard to make their dreams a reality. Keep up the good work guys and we hope that with a lot of determination and dedication, all your dreams are realized.
