Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Siyabonga Nkosi is excited for the annual Siyabonga Nkosi Youth Festival, taking place from June 6 to 17 in Johannesburg and KwaZulu-Natal.
The National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund is the main funder of this year’s festival, which aims to provide opportunities for youth to showcase their talent. Coming from the rural community of Mndozo outside Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal, Nkosi’s life story is a genuine example of combining vision with hard work and determination to achieve far-reaching dreams and yet still stay true to your passion, whilst seeking to develop and see other people reach their potential.

I am very passionate about community development. The event is growing every year. I am doing this from the bottom of my heart. I feel great and proud with my efforts to empower the community.
