This week, ‘Sporting Stars of Tomorrow’ features Denzel Joshua Mukwenya and Zeeyano Naidoo, whose paths are not only aligned, but almost mirrored. Both lads live on Bengal Str, Laudium, attend Hillside Primary School and play for Delfos FC, with both remarkably dominating the field from the left-wing position. The boys also share ambitious dreams of becoming professional soccer players, but it’s their off-the-field goals that reveal their hearts. While Denzel Joshua wants his parents to retire when he achieves success, Zeeyano hopes to uplift those in need, through charity, once he makes it big. The Laudium Sun wishes the pair everything of the best as they chase their footballing goals with enthusiasm and purpose.
Good luck guys!!
