Kowie Build it’s football team was a well-oiled machine when it went toe-to-toe with Ndlambe FM presenters on Sunday afternoon.

Sonandzi further highlighted the purpose of a friendly match. “Our listeners always hear our voices on radio but they do not get an opportunity to see us so we wanted to have that interaction with them. We also wanted to give a sense of hope to our listeners since they have been locked up by the lockdown due to Covid-19,” he said.
The losing side captain, Sinethembe Chiz Pase, asserted that the final score was not a true reflection of the game. Pase supported his views by the number of chances they missed in the second half. He said they were a better team in the second half but they were unfortunate to miss those goal scoring opportunities.
