Blaauw, who previously made headlines when one of his poems was used in the matriculation examination at Elsies River, is continuing to inspire the youth.

Blaauw, of House of Elijah Prophetic Ministries, who initiated the tournament, said several churches participated, which included: Pentecostal Prayer Ministries, Clarke Estate and Elsies River, New Born Ministries in Connaught Estate and Elsies River, City Faith in Delft and Liberty Pentecostal in Bishop Lavis.
