Легенда южноафриканского футбола Доктор Хумало дал советы молодым игрокам на мероприятии Haier

Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs legend Doctor Khumalo, who was among a star-studded lineup at the Haier activation in Johannesburg over the weekend, has shared his advice to rising footballers. With separation and focus, football can change lives. Those were the sentiments from South African football legend Doctor Khumalo. He was among some of the most revered former footballers who showed up at the Haier two-day activation at Nelson Mandela Square. Speaking at the event, Khumalo, who also played in Argentina and the USA in addition to his time at Kaizer Chiefs, said sport has the potential to change lives. "It's difficult to advise, but the least I can say is that you actually decide," noted the man who is lovingly referred to as '16V'. "Football, or soccer, can change lives. If you were to work hard, sign a contract overseas, for your family, for yourself, life would change," shared the retired midfielder. "It’s not easy for one to achieve that." "If you want to achieve that, or if you want to get glory, you need to separate and focus. There are certain things you need to separate from and focus. This is how you pave your own path," declared Khumalo. While Doc paves the path for young footballers, Haier is paving its own path in South Africa. The global powerhouse in home appliances is carving its footprint on the local market in memorable fashion. The event gave Mzansi football fans a blend of entertainment, education, and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to mingle with some of South Africa's former football stars. "Haier has been number one for about 18 years now, and we are at a point where we have matured as a business. So, our idea is for people to have fun with the brand," Haier sales director Robby Rebelo told KickOff at the event. "We are not working hard to try to sell good products at this point. We offer good value, we offer energy saving, and we offer the highest warranties, but what we really want is for people to enjoy the brand and have fun! "I think everyone got a taste of that at this event," Rebelo said. "With the sponsorship of PSG and Liverpool, the event already has some association with people; there is a lot of love for those teams. Those are number one brands, so for people to come in and engage with yet another number one brand in Haier, the way they have, is really exciting to see," he concluded.
