Leading international referee, Joshua Bondo last week donated soccer balls and further pledged to reward top performers in Mathematics and Science at his former school, Senete Primary School in the Central district.

Bondo donated five balls and will give cash prizes of P200 and a floating trophy to each top pupil in Maths and Science every term. 

The referee who has made his mark both locally and abroad, would assist more schools in the Central district with Nkange expected to be the next beneficiaries. “I have always wanted to give back to the community I grew up in. I went to school in Senete and I loved football as a young child.   “You can earn a living through sports nowadays.

He urged parents to support their children if they choose sports.
