This event took place amidst growing concerns about crime rates in the village and surrounding areas, bringing together teams from faith organisations, local clubs, and even the South African Police Service (SAPS) to turn the tide on youth disengagement.

Colonel Noxolo Ntshiba, the station commander of Langa police station, said she was satisfied with the community's active involvement in the tournament, highlighting the importance of collaboration in empowering local youth.

"We commemorated Youth Day, organised by SAPS and stakeholders, to encourage young people that sport can play a positive role in their lives.
