AmaZulu general manager Lunga Sokhela says, “It was a very beautiful function attended by many key stakeholders in the football fraternity. We had the MEC of Sports also representing the provincial government, the Speaker of eThekwini Municipality, past legends. So it was really an event that was fit for the legend that he is. Unfortunately, because of the regulation, we were limited to 50 people. But going forward it’s up to us to live up to the name of Sugar Ray Xulu.”
