Zakes Bantwini & AKA are at war

Zakes Bantwini and AKA are at war. The 2 award-winning stars will be battling it out on the soccer pitch for Breast Cancer Awareness month as part of Bantwini’s initiative called 1GoalforCancer.

Team Zakes will be going head-to-head against Team AKA on 27 October at Discovery Soccer Park in a 7-a-side match that will see celebrity team players swapping their designer threads for soccer bibs. Team Zakes includes David Kau, Metro FM’s Lulo Cafe and Amon Mokoena, Donald, Ma-E from Teargas, Good Hope FM’s DJ Lloyd, Moneo, Pearl Thusi, DJ Zinhle and Bucie while Team AKA includes Twins on Decks, DJ Milkshake, motion picture company director Allesio, Orlando Pirates’ Daine Klate and Lehlohonolo Majoro, Nomuzi Mabena, Nandi Mngoma and Kid X. Bantwini has agreed to have his hair shaved off if his team loses.

Bantwini lost his mother to cancer in 2007 and has been outspoken about the importance of raising awareness and encouraging people to get the necessary medical checks ever since. Nominations and pledges to donate towards the initiative are being driven via Twitter, Instagram and Facebook using #1goal4cancer with proceeds going to the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA).
