Mams Mall gets visit from Mamelodi Sundowns

Entrance 3 of Mams Mall in Mahube, Mamelodi East was a hive of activity yesterday afternoon. The occasion was the opening of a new Hyundai merchandise store for Mamelodi Sundown’s supporters. The store will also give Ma-Sundawana a chance to experience Hyundai’s vehicle range.

Today’s event was coupled with a “meet and greed session,” which was a way of giving Sundown’s fans an opportunity to see their heroes in person. This as they have not seen them in a long time at stadiums due to Covid-19 lock down regulations.

Hyundai is the transport sponsor of Mamelodi Sundown’s and as a result the team’s player were there to grace the occasion. The event was also used to award a new Tucson Hyundai to the team’s best player for the month of March, Rushine De Reuck.

“I would like to thank God for having helped me achieve my long-held dream to play for Sundown’s and also for winning the car which I will drive for free for a period of one month,” enthused De Reuck. Also in attendance was Sundown’s captain Hlompho Kekana.

The veteran said public interactions with fans, like the one organized by Hyundai, give players confidence and motivation to perform well in the field of play. “We will win the league for our fans and prove our critics wrong,” he said emphatically. Another player who was in attendance was young midfielder Keletso Makgalwa. Makgalwa was ecstatic that he got a chance to meet his newly acquired fans.

The three Sundowns’ stars signed hundreds of the team’s new soccer jerseys for their enthusiastic followers. One of the many fans who won themselves the new Sundown’s jerseys was Winnie Khopa, who expressed joy after meeting heroes, especially the legendary Hlompho Kekana.

As a parting shot, Mams Mall centre manager Bafana Radebe said: “The new Hyundai store is a way of sending a message to the public out there that Mams Mall, its customers, Mamelodi Sundown’s and Hyundai are one.”

Marry Me Community Demands Justice For Dr Setlai

The community of Marry Me in Mamelodi North marched to Mamelodi East police station yesterday to demand justice for Dr Setlai. This happened after Dr Setlai was allegedly shot on Tuesday Night.

“I was at home from work, Dr Setlai was going out to attend a meeting, I later called him as it was getting dark, and he said he is on his way home. Not long after a call i heard gun shots outside, I received a call from a lady whose husband is in prison asking if Dr Setlai is at home since her husband is also attending the same meeting. The lady told me she will send a car to collect me from home to where they are, I was shocked, I got in a car when we arrived, I saw my husband corpse, I wasn’t allowed to see him, I was told to wait for foreign sick first and we were not told anything after the tests”, said Dr Setlai wife Bella Morake.

Bella Morake described Dr Setlai as a humble being who liked helping people in the community, mostly with water and electricity. His family and relatives depended on him.

Dr Setlai wife mentioned that Dr Setlai had a lot of outstanding debts that he was supposed to pay off before he died, and she does not know how they will all be paid as she only has piece jobs.

“Dr was responsible for our home and our needs, the kids school fees and transport I don’t know how I will afford all these as my salary is not enough”, said Bella Morake.

Dr Setlai and Bella Morake have two boys 17 and 12.
