Mahikeng: North West Premier, Lazarus Kagiso Mokgosi takes this opportunity to send well
wishes to Orbit College Football Club affectionately known as Mswenko Boys following their
promotion to the Betway Premier Soccer League, after defeating Cape Town City yesterday to
a packed and electrifying Olympia Park Stadium in Rustenburg.
Premier Mokgosi maintains Mswenko Boys demonstrated courage and resilience throughout
the campaign.
“We witnessed a remarkable performance by Orbit TVET College which guarantees them a
spot in the Premier Soccer League. As a province we congratulate them on this historic victory
which epitomises resilience and courage but further gives impetus to our ongoing efforts to set
our province on a path of growth and development” said Premier Mokgosi.
He further says the provincial government will explore various ways and means to support the
team in the forthcoming PSL season as well as partnering with the private sector to guarantee
its success.
“The private sector and in particular mining houses around the Bojanala area will have to be
roped in to assist the team through various means to ensure its sustainability and growth”
added Premier Mokgosi.
Premier Mokgosi insists the success of the team will yield different economic spin-offs for
locals.
“This promotion will culminate into the creation of various economic opportunities for the
people of the North West and in particular the tourism and retail sector. It further impresses
upon us to prioritise the refurbishment of infrastructure such as our stadiums and training
facilities” concluded Premier Mokgosi.
