Sports equipment for best school teams

Schools in the Niani Circuit outside Mutale were urged to participate in different sporting codes and to refine their skills.

The acting circuit manager, Mr Simon Malindi, addressed the community when presenting prizes to schools that participated in the Niani Annual Schools Tournament at the Folovhodwe Venmag ground on Friday.

“Participating in different sporting codes will help the learners to perform and maybe one day make a living as professional sportspeople. We encourage our pupils, however, to take their education in the classroom seriously and work hard in the classroom," said Malindi.

According to Malindi, one of the aims of the tournament is to identify sports talents among the scholars. The tournament started in 2014 with only schools around Folovhodwe and Muswodi, but it was later extended to all schools around the Niani circuit. The tournament is the brainchild of a well-known youth developer and businessman, Mr Fhatuwani Rananga, better known as “The Best”. He also donated soccer kits to teams that have reached the final of the tournament.

“As a youth developer around the Folovhodwe communities, I think about doing things that will benefit the future of our children," said Rananga.

In the finals, Madimbo Primary's soccer team beat Malale Primary 2-1, Malinge Primary School's netball team beat Muswodi Primary 21-19, Ratshibvumo Secondary School's netball  won 24-11 against Dzimauli Secondary, while Ratshisase Secondary School beat Ratshibvumo 2-1.
