The Hlaku Foundation, established in 2018, continues to make a meaningful impact in Soweto through various community upliftment initiatives. Over the years, the organisation has earned recognition for its commitment to empowering local communities through school motivational tours, sanitary pad donation drives, and feeding programmes that support homeless individuals.
As part of its ongoing efforts to promote youth development and community unity, the Hlaku Foundation has partnered with the Clifford & Gusheshe Foundation to host an exciting eight-team football tournament on 16 June 2026.
The tournament will bring together football teams from different parts of Soweto, creating a platform for young talent to showcase their skills while commemorating Youth Day.
Several teams have already secured their places in the tournament. These include Pimville Rocks and Cameroon from Pimville, Orlando West Development International from Orlando West, M Academy from Meadowlands, and Devine Stars.
Meanwhile, the remaining qualifying spots will be contested during the Diepkloof qualifiers, scheduled for 13 June 2026.
Teams competing for a place in the main tournament are DK Rocks, FC Barcelona, Future Falcons, and Chilli Boys.
Hlaku Foundation founder Bongani Dlamini said he believes the tournament will not only provide entertainment but also strengthen social cohesion and encourage positive youth participation through sport.
