It also allows family and friends to support.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Furthermore, it will also assist &#8216;ballers with footage to create their own video portfolios for semi-professional and professional opportunities in South Africa and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Through the tournament, we hope to popularise the sport and bring more opportunities for young &#8216;ballers, but also use it as a way of reducing the school dropout rate in our poorer communities across Cape Town.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It promises to be a non-stop action event.
