Harare, Zimbabwe. (News of The South) – It could be a dream come true for young Tanaka Gope, a South African based Zimbabwean as he braces up for a golden opportunity to feature in the most beautiful game on the universe.
For the 15 year old, school intelligence is just a mere expression of academic life but when it comes to the game of football priority becomes the soul strength of his life as judged by numerous accolades attained since primary level of education under his belt.
Electer Mugodhi(mother) told News Of The South that her son is destined to become a football star beyond any amount of considerable doubt. The amazing inborn talent was long discovered by teachers during school extra-curriculum activities in the old ages of Tanaka’s primary level of education.
“It all started in grade 2 when Tanaka’s teachers told us that my son had a football talent which needed to be mentored and since then have been performing well as shown by a good a track record of scooping football prizes at school.”
Currently Tanaka lives in East London (South Africa) with his paternal parents Gibson (father), Electer(mother) Mugodhi who both failed to acquire sufficient funds to nature their amazing talent of their only son with football academies.
The dream for success came true when Tanaka found a ´must not miss golden opportunity’ when the world’s largest football company invited him for trials in United Kingdom (UK) slated for June this year.
Dispite receiving the most exciting news from UK Football Company, the struggle to gather sufficient funds needed to cater for the United Kingdom trip now engulfs Tanaka’s family as they are now working round the clock to meet the much anticipated deadline.
The two weeks football trial is likely to consume at least 5000 Pounds for the stay in England including two return air tickets for Tanaka and his dad who has to accompany him due to him being a minor.
As it stands the low earning and financially crippled Gope family is whole heartedly appealing for assistance from well wishers to render financial assistance for the upcoming Zimbabwean footballer.
