Sundowns inspire students

The ongoing international break has provided Mamelodi Sundowns the perfect opportunity to visit a pair of schools, with the club's media team sharing footage of their visits on social media and YouTube.

Masandawana started their Schools visit at the Thandukwazi Secondary School in Sebokeng, where they helped open a new library alongside sponsors, Hyundai.

Thanks to Hyundai, the library at Thandukwazi Secondary is kitted out with new books, desks and a range of HP laptops for the learners to use. 

"I come from the Vaal and to be honest, we have less resources. We have less schools, libraries, hospitals, and clinics. This library will help the children study in this school, it will help them learn more and develop themselves further," says Bafana Bafana Downs winger, Thapelo Maseko.

Maseko was joined by teammates Lesiba Nku and Neo Maema, who were there to inspire the learners, including the school's football players.
