SUNDOWNS SUPPORTERS EMBODY UBUNTU BOTHO SPIRIT

Author: NJ Hove

On the occasion of National Youth Day, Sundowns Supporters joined forces with Blue Ribbon to host a community outreach program in Bela-Bela in the Limpopo Province, embodying the spirit of Ubuntu Botho. This initiative, now in its 12th year, aims to spread love, victory and joy beyond the football pitch.

The day kicked off with a breakfast gathering where the Club officials, Supporters and community members bonded over cups of tea, slices of bread, bowls of soups, and shared laughter.

Mamelodi Sundowns Legend Daniel ‘Mambush’ Mudau, beaming with pride, praised the supporters' dedication: "It's amazing to see the positive impact the Sundowns Supporters are making right here in Bela Bela. Their passion and commitment to the community are truly inspiring.”

National Coordinator Cedric Moela emphasised the purpose of the outreach: "We're for the people and we want to continue giving back to the communities, spreading the love and success as Masandawana. Our goal is to uplift and empower through initiatives that make a real difference in people's lives.”

Rueben Kekana, a loyal supporter, highlighted the significance of the collective action. "As branches we made contributions to buy some of the items to share with the community, embodying the spirit of Ubuntu Botho. The spirit of Ubuntu Botho guides us to strive to reach out and help wherever we can, throughout South Africa.”

Ubuntu Botho, a philosophy at the heart of Mamelodi Sundowns’ culture, emphasises interconnectedness and humanity towards others. By reaching out to the community, the supporters demonstrated the Club's commitment to making a meaningful impact beyond football.

As South Africa celebrated National Youth Day, the Breakfast in Bela-Bela initiative, organised by Mamelodi Sundowns supporters, served as a powerful reminder of the importance of community service and connection. This act of generosity demonstrated that football can be a powerful tool for building bridges and fostering unity, transcending the sport itself.

In the spirit of Ubuntu Botho, Sundowns Supporters continue to inspire and make a difference in the lives of others. As the Club's supporter base grows, so does its impact, proving that the Sky’s the Limit!
