MANDELA BIRTHDAY BASH AT VICTOR VESTER PRISON

Today we spoke to Mandla Yeki - the Media Liason Officer for the Ministry of Cultural Affairs and Sport about the birthday bash thats going to be held at Victor Vester prison celebrating the 89th Birthday of former president Nelson Mandela.

The party which host some of the greatest footballers in the continent and South Africa's 2010 ambassadors will join the Western Cape football ambassadors for a different kind of party - soccer coaching organised by the Department to honour and celebrate the contribution of the former President in building a non-racial and united South Africa.

Approximately 600 under 13 boys and girls from schools and soccer teams in the Boland and Metro will take part in the coaching clinics at Victor Vester Prison sports grounds. This will then be preceded by a visit to the Mandela house by the ambassadors to show them where his journey to freedom began.

Football stars and legends such as former Bafana Bafana captain, Lucas Radebe, Phil Masinga, Mark Fish and Samuel Eto'o will be gracing the event with their presence.

The function will be concluded with a symbolic cutting and sharing of a birthday cake.
