The president of Malfa, Mr Joseph Maphaha, thanked all the sponsors for their decision to sponsor football. "I'm very proud that we have grown young people of real quality," he said. He stated that he was convinced that the league would produce stars who would receive international recognition soon.

Maphaha further said that his association appreciated “the selfless contributions” of Limpopo Dairy, Elim Spar, Vuwani Spar, Africa Hardware and Vho-Makhadzi Funerals, who were all in the forefront of developing the local youth. "Despite the difficult economic conditions, we still find companies that are prepared to share their takings and support us."
