Bittersweet night for Nexus Football Academy last night.
Iviwe, better known as Juju, played his final match in Nexus colours during a training fixture against Tableview Football Club.
When Iviwe arrived at the academy, he was a boy with dreams and potential. Today, he leaves us as a young man who has shown tremendous growth, not only in his football, but also in his education and character. Watching his development has been a privilege for everyone involved in his journey.
Following a successful trial, Iviwe has earned the opportunity to join Stellenbosch FC, taking the next step in his football journey.
While his educational journey will continue with us, his football journey now moves on to bigger challenges and exciting new opportunities.
Although we are sad to see him leave, we are incredibly proud of what he has achieved and excited about what lies ahead. His journey is another reminder that hard work, commitment, and patience can open doors.
Juju, thank you for your dedication, your character, and the example you have set for those coming behind you. Remember that once you are part of the Nexus family, you are always part of the Nexus family. We will continue to monitor your progress, support you from afar, and celebrate every milestone along the way.
We wish you nothing but success in this next chapter. Go and make the most of this opportunity, we know you will make us proud.
