Daine Klate and Reneilwe Letsholonyane join forces in unlikely drive

Why did the chicken cross? To get to KFC maybe. 

Okay fine, nobody knows why chickens cross the roads but when two footballers join hands, something big brews. 

Two of South Africa's former stars Daine Klate and Reneilwe Letsholonyane have joined hands with Betway in an initiative that is aimed at fostering change in communities. 

Klate and Letsholonyane both made names for themselves with their sublime skills which earned them global recognition. 

And they hope to use this initiative to make a meaningful difference in the communities that have supported them over the years. 

This is an initiative that no one saw coming but the collaboration was jointly made by the duo during an interview where the they engaged fans on various football topics drawn from their highly successful careers.

The duo share eight league titles and 15 cup competition victories respectively.

Betway's partnership with Klate and Letsholonyane comes a few days on the back of a recent donation made by the brand in partnership with former Kaizer Chiefs star, Jabu Mahlangu, towards the East Rand Excellence Soccer Academy in Daveyton.

Sharing the news, Klate stated that the donation would help his childhood club continue to nurture the Gelvandale community talent.

"Knowing the great amount of talent in Gelvandale, this partnership with Betway will most certainly encourage the club and community to continue nurturing the upcoming talent. "A number of clubs in Gelvandale are operated by generous community members who struggle at times to fund basic needs such as equipment. Thanks to Betway, this is one aspect that they will not have to worry about," said Klate.

ALetsholonyane, who identified Ndofaya Lions Football Club as the club to receive the generous donation, divulged that he was grateful for the opportunity.

There is always a time for everything. One to play, celebrate and to give back.
