Kgotso Nhlapho My name is Kgotso Nhlapo I was born in the Free State Province, in a small town called Kroonstad. I started playing for the men’s VUT first team in 2022 and I am currently the Captain of the VUT men’s team. I’m a third-year student doing Sports Management. The course has helped to unlock so many opportunities for me in the world of sports, including elements of Sport Administration. As I recently acquired my SAFA CAF-D licence, this has put me one foot into the technical officiating space, which is an avenue I would like to explore especially by giving back to my hometown and country at large, via coaching development clubs. |
