Zibeko said, "We are forever grateful to the Mlokoti family, including Kaizer Chiefs, for giving us a go ahead to organise this annual event to honour a true servant of football, a teacher and community builder, the late Clarence Mlokoti. The tournament would have been possible without the dedicated partners and we thank all of them for walking this journey with us."
Before joining Chiefs 'Oom Locks' served in the Orlando Pirates 1960 committees for community development. When Kaizer Motaung returned from the USA, where he was playing professional soccer in the North American Soccer League, he recruited Mlokoti to help him form Chiefs.
