This week, we feature talented center-attacker, Sulaiman Kassim and cool-headed midfielder, Katlego Makgeru, who really enjoy the beautiful game, but are kicking in completely opposite directions. While Sulaiman idolizes Brazilian legend, Neymar JR, and admires the slick style of Manchester City, Katlego admires football icon, Lionel Messi and is a loyal Liverpool fan. Their ambitions differ completely, with Sulaiman wanting to become a professional footballer, while Katlego has his eyes on a very different prize… he wants to be a billionaire! The Laudium Sun wishes the lads every success as they chase their dreams, whether it’s dazzling on the world’s football stages or climbing the ladder to billionaire status. Good luck guys!!
