Despite all the difficulties Covid-19 has brought into people's lives, the Jabulani Mendu continues with his good deeds of ploughing back to his community of Vosloorus through his foundation.
The former Premier Soccer League star has organised an all-day event filled with music and entertainment, which is set to take place on Wednesday, 16 June 2021 at Crisp Lifestyle, Vosloorus.
"There's a venue called Crispy in Vosloorus, that's where we will start and finish our walk." Mendu explains to snl24.com/kickoff.
"There's a 5km and 8km, and after the walk there will be family picnics. Food will be there, we will also have music artists performing, there will also be a stall for Jabulani Mendu Foundation clothing range.
"Reason we chose to walk and not run is because a walk accommodates everybody – young, old, cripple, etc. and you can have a conversation with someone while walking. "Let's not run away from the fact that it's June 16, so as much as we are walking for health reasons, we also need to have conversation with these young ones and explain the significance of the day. It's educational.
"At the same time, while we educating the young ones, it's a meet and greet session. When you pay for your ticket, you also get a wrist band that will grant you access to the picnic.
"We have both online and tangible tickets, so you can choose which method you want to use to get tickets. Registration is R100, while the contact number for Jabulani Mendu Foundation director Zanele Molefe is 079 308 8825."
