It was all smiles in Polokwane on Saturday as SAFA Capricorn Region and media publication FARPost made a big announcement.
SAFA Capricorn Region and South Africa’s leading football publication have come together to empower the community in Limpopo, with a view to do the same across all provinces.
“It gives me great pleasure to announce today, the 7th of May 2022, that we have partnered with FARPost, who are no doubt the fastest growing publication in the country and indeed, the African continent at large. I’ll proceed to tell you more about this partnership,” announced SAFA Capricorn Region President, Jacky Mogashoa.
“FARPost has been in existence for just three years, but they are set to break boundaries and take football to the next level. FARPost’s motto is ‘answering your football questions’ and they’ve heard your cry as a nation to improve football at all levels,” he continued.
Mogashoa added: “We are here today to announce that FARPost is our new media partner and together, we will elevate football in our province and by extension, to the rest of the country.
“Through our partnership, FARPost has come on board and will unite our regions. How? SAFA Capricorn Region and FARPost will together host an annual big tournament that will bring together the best players from our regions. We have signed a three-year contract that we hope will extend for many years to come.
“This of course is unheard of that a football publication has gone to great lengths to recognize the need to host a tournament of this magnitude. In my experience, football publications simply provide coverageon their respective platforms and that’s their core business. FARPost, therefore, are breaking new ground for the benefit of the community at large and are saying, “this is just the beginning.”
FARPost’s approach is rather unique. While football coverage on the domestic and international scene is important for the company, but there’s more to it. It’s against this background that FARPost Editor Tiyani wa ka Mabasa was delighted to represent the company at the announcement.
“We strive to play a role in our communities and in that sense, we are than just a football publication. The partnership with SAFA Capricorn Region is just the beginning,” stated Mabasa, who further commended FARPost for putting the community first.
“This is a life-changing announcement for the community at large, in and around the Polokwane area. FARPost will make further announcements regarding our plans for the country. We have big plans.”
Amongst the distinguished guests who graced the press conference with their presence was the first vice-president Thomas Mulaudzi, secretary-general Mosotho Malesela, tresurer Godfrey Maoto, executive member Clive Kekana and the list is endless.
