Equip a Future Champion - Walk in My Shoes: Masingita Masunga
One pair of boots can change someone's future
March is recognised internationally as Women’s Month and in South Africa entrepreneur and founder of sportswear - abOVEnormal, Masingita Masunga, is inviting all “successful women” to invest in the future generation of young footballers by buying them proper football boots - in celebration of women in sports.
Dubbed Walk In My Shoes - the initiative seeks to equip young athletes with the tools they need to perform, compete and believe in themselves, says Masunga.
How the initiative works, is for a sponsor to buy a pair of abOVEnormal soccer boots at a cost of R600 a pair. The pair is then signed by a soccer legend or coach, with personal messages of encouragement, before it is donated to a woman footballer in need.
“As South Africa celebrates 30 years since the historic victory at the 1996 African Cup of Nations, won by Bafana Bafana, we must ensure the next generation is ready to carry the dream forward. One pair of boots can change the future,” Masunga says.
Those wishing to participate can go on www.abOVEnormal.africa or call 0725162675.
