JOHANNESBURG - It’s a big sporting weekend and Pirates and Chiefs will be holding nothing back in Durban and one of the two will walk away with bragging rights and of course, a trophy.
But someone who doesn’t get a trophy, someone who doesn’t get to celebrate often enough and is not always cheered on by a stadium of supporters, is the mom.
Many times they are the ones who pack the lunches, stand on the sidelines in terrible weather, drive around all the teammates and make sure the soccer kit is clean.
Ahead of Mother's Day, a campaign has been brought out to celebrate some of the real heroes behind our footballing stars.
Beaulah Shabalala is one of those stars behind the stardom, she is the Mother of the Kaizer Chiefs’ Mduduzi Shabalala.
