Both youngsters we feature this week go to the same school, live on the same street (Umber Str) in Laudium, with both making waves in local football. However, on the field, Aqeel Singh is the calm, calculated defender, while Jerzinho Naidoo is a fiery striker. The lads play for different clubs, Laudium FC and Delfos FC respectively, with Aqeel being a die-hard Portugal fan who follows Cristiano Ronaldo’s every move, while Jerzinho is a loyal Liverpool supporter, admiring Lionel Messi. That said, both lads share the same ultimate dream, saying that their biggest dream is to one day buy a beautiful house. The Laudium Sun wishes the pair all the best as they chase their differing goals and career paths. May all their dreams, both on and off the field come true. Good luck guys!!
