Thuso broadens cover as it undergoes name change

The schemes, which are meant to provide solutions for players wherever their club falls short; includes funeral costs, legal fees, physiotherapy, and medical aid.

TSWA, which was formerly known as Thuso Footballers Society (TFS), says the outfit was established because the health, legal and emotional needs of athletes are not taken seriously by clubs most of the time. The Chairperson of TSWA, Caroline Mogapi, says athletes often find themselves in uncompromising situations because they lack such services. Mogapi says in extreme cases, athletes' clubs cannot cover their athletes and their families when they die.
