Support Mandela’s legacy. Plant a ball.
Mandela believed in sport being a catalyst for change. In order to continue his legacy, TotalSports is pledging 1 500 soccer balls for Mandela Day as part of their Plant a Ball initiative. They know a football won’t solve Mzansi’s biggest problems, but believe it will kick-start the thing or person that does.
Plant a Ball is distributing footballs around South Africa for the 5th consecutive year. 2019 will witness their 2 500th ball being planted across one of 44 beneficiaries nationwide! On 18 July, PicupSA and FivesFutbol will distribute the soccer balls around South Africa.
We are excited to be an official beneficiary of the Plant A Ball initiative for Mandela Day 2019 and need your help to secure some of these balls.
Its FREE to vote and by voting, you’re directly influencing where the balls will be planted.
Please support us by voting at http://www.plantaball.co.za/view/Anna_Foundation.
The more votes we get the more balls we will receive.
