Disney Africa today announced that former Bafana Bafana and Leeds United soccer star, Lucas Radebe, will front a series of local shorts and lend his skills as a mentor for Disney XD's brand-new soccer-themed series 11.
From today, Disney XD (DStv, Channel 304) viewers will be able to tune in and see Lucas re-enacting some of the breath-taking goals and unforgettable moments from the series, whilst offering tips, tricks of the trade and valuable nuggets from his successful career.
"I am honoured to be involved in this partnership with Disney XD," says Lucas Radebe on the Disney 11 campaign. "This campaign covers a number of issues that are close to my heart including football development and working with kids. I'm excited to be a mentor to show them that, like me, they can start from the bottom and reach great heights through hard work, determination and belief in themselves and their abilities."
In conjunction with DStv, Disney also today kicks off a once-in-a-lifetime competition* across South Africa for kids to stand a chance to win an exclusive mentoring session with Lucas. Kids (with permission from their parents or guardians) have until 10 July to log on to www.dstv.com/win and motivate why they should be selected for this incredible opportunity. If selected, the winner and up to 10 of their friends will spend a day with the soccer legend who will share insights, teach skills and take them through their paces.
Make sure you are a part of Disney 11 with Lucas Radebe this year by visiting www.dstv.com/win from 28 June - 10 July to stand a chance to win your dream mentorship with the South Africa icon. Also look out for more Disney 11 each weekday from 16:50, only on Disney XD (DStv, Channel 304).
