Be role models, inspire kids

Hockey Team player Owen Mvimbi stressed the importance for sportsmen and women to become role models and inspire children.

“Once we inspire them, they get a little hope that one day they will become somebody in terms of sports. It all starts with a dream, and for all of us, when we are kids we dream and want to become somebody that we see, and that’s where it all starts from being a role model for the younger generation.

“The responsibility we have as sportsmen and women is huge because when we win or lose, the kids are watching us,” said Mvimbi.

The kids got an opportunity to learn how to play hockey from the team players, who also did their bit of 67 minutes by helping out with the vegetable garden.

Brand SA’s Magapatona thanked the hockey team for taking time to play with the children.

Brand SA is sponsoring both female and male hockey teams in the international tournament currently taking place in the country.
