Sebokeng Ajax FC celebrates 25 years
SEBOKENG.- Former Orlando Pirates darling Steve 'Chippa' Lekoelea stole the show when Sebokeng Ajax FC celebrated its 25th Anniversary. This celebration took place at the Ajax FC soccer ground in Zone 12, with the club legends playing against each other in the Legend Elite Top 4, followed by a Gala Dinner. It was a trip down memory lane with the club's legends and current crop of players coming together to mark 25 years of the club's existence on Saturday. Lekoelea was among the legends who graced this occasion. Not only that, this former Pirates dazzling midfielder scored a brilliant goal for Sebokeng Ajax FC Legend Team when they beat Samdoria Legends 3-2. Lekoelea reminded those in attendance of his playing days when he used to bang free kicks. He stunned the crowd when he scored a brilliant goal from a free kick. This was his specialty when he was still playing in the top-flight football. Many goalkeepers can attest to this. This is the day many will remember, especially with that free kick, well deserved, to mark the 25th anniversary. Speaking to Sedibeng Ster Sport, Master Zondo said it was a great day for the Sebokeng community, young and old. He said the presence of the former Pirates midfielder, Lekoelea, was a great thing to happen to celebrate this day in style. Zondo said Lekoelea is still a brand in South African football, although he has retired from top-flight football a long time ago. 'I was humbled by the positive response from those legends, especially Steve Lekoelea, who is a crowd puller everywhere he goes. The man is still famous and people still love him, and on Saturday, he didn't disappoint them. As Sebokeng Ajax FC, I want to thank everyone, especially those legends who put their busy schedules aside and celebrated this day with us. It was a special day for the Zone 12 community to be part of this celebration. This club belongs to them, and their support means a lot to me. They have been loyal to this club since its establishment 25 years ago until now,' said Zondo. At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
