Yavakomana Football Club (FC) which is affectionately known as Ngaa in the Mucheke
Social League, recently took the philanthropy route by donating US$180 and R300
to two of its injured fans.
The
team’s manager, Kudakwashe Munetsi said the executive and some players forked
out money from their pockets and channeled it towards the wellbeing of their
two supporters who were injured during matches.
“We
have two of our supporters who were injured during matches. One of them,
Nangazi Karima broke her hand while celebrating a goal in Mucheke Stadium and
the other one is Jephius Mudzimba who broke his leg during a soccer match that
was being played in Mucheke.
“As
the pioneer team in the city, we have decided to show our maturity by helping these
two. The team donated ZW$589, R250 and US$19 to Karima. Another donation of
R300 and US$180 was given to Mudzimba. The two are going to use the money to
pay for their hospital bills,” said Munetsi.
The
team management praised Nangazi for donating soccer kits to the team in the
past, saying he was one of the team’s most avid supporter who had nothing but
the team’s success at heart.
Nangazi
told TellZIm News that the assistance he got from the team will go a long way
in offsetting some of the bills he incurred.
 “Money is always welcome. It is a very nice
gesture from the management of Yavakomana and its players. I am going to direct
some of the funds towards my medical checkups,” said Nangazi.
One
of the team players, Chida Mudada said the move towards the lane of Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) was right as communities looked up to leaders for
support and inspiration.
The
team’s secretary, Nyasha Mazvimba said they had an affinity to support community
members especially those that show love for the team.
