An affiliate of the Thulamela Local Football Association, Lunungwi United FC, received brand new soccer kit from the management of Thwwa Trading and Projects Company.

When addressing the people, the local traditional leader, Vhamusanda Vho-Mutshutshu Edson Mamatho, revealed that he was still going to attract more investors to the area. He severely criticized the people who accused him of giving a piece of land to non-residents at the time when he gave Dr Kwinda a piece of land for development purposes

In his words of appreciation for the donation, the captain of the team, Rolivhuwa Manduna, praised the company for ploughing back part of their income back into the community. He stated that the donation would go a long way in boosting the morale of the players. According to the general manager of the club, Mr NE Muswubi, the club was founded in the early nineties.
