Chevrolet Manchester United mascots return from the trip of a lifetime
Chevrolet in South Africa has welcomed
home their VIP guests in the form of two
football fanatics namely twelve year old
Nokuthula Nkabinde and eleven year old
Mfanelo Mabale. The global automotive
brand brought 11 children from around
the world to experience Manchester
United’s opening Premier League game
against Swansea on Saturday 16 August.
The South African two mascots returned
home with boundless energy and endless
stories from their adventure. Born and
raised in Katlehong, Nokuthula would
never have previously even allowed
herself to dream of such an opportunity;
“I work very hard at school and I want to
become a teacher and help the children
of our future. That is my dream. I cannot
believe that I was selected for this trip – I
am going to dream about this last week
for a very long time.” Grade six learner
at Bopang Kgotso Primary School in
Vosloorus, Mfanelo, 11, probably still thinks
he’s in a dream when he was asked to walk
out with Wayne Rooney, “I don’t know what
to say… Thank you Chevrolet! I couldn’t
believe my eyes when Mr. Rooney was
wearing my name on his back.” Chevrolet
SA brand manager, Tim Hendon concludes;
“We felt it fitting to host a welcome home
party for Nokuthula and Mfanelo at our
new General Motors sales and marketing
office in Woodmead. We asked coach
Gavin Hunt to attend and congratulate our
two heroes as well. Nokuthula and Mfanelo
represented our country with pride and
if they are anything to go by, our future
looks very bright. We are delighted to have
opened the eyes of these two promising
youngsters.”
