As part of its unwavering commitment to empowering youth and uplifting underprivileged communities, the Hollywood Foundation continues to make an impact through its Corporate Social Investment (CSI) initiatives. On 17 May 2025, the Foundation proudly extended a helping hand to Mangaung Ajax Football Club with a generous contribution of soccer kits. This heartwarming moment was made possible through the nomination by the dedicated Team at the Hollywoodbets Phuthaditjhaba branch, who recognised the Club’s incredible work in their community and the pressing need for support.
Founded in 1996, Mangaung Ajax Football Club has become a beacon of hope for young aspiring athletes. Through CSI-driven goals, the Club provides a safe, structured environment for 70 players aged between 14 and 26. These young individuals hone their football skills and also learn valuable life lessons that steer them away from negative influences. The Club’s proudest achievements include qualifying for the prestigious Sasol League and seeing several of their players rise to bigger leagues—a testament to their hard work and dedication.
The impact of this CSI initiative goes far beyond uniforms. It instills pride, unity, and motivation within the Team. Ruben Mpho Mahgoa, Chairman of Mangaung Ajax Football Club, expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thanks to the Hollywood Foundation, our Club can now train with confidence and pride. This support has given us a renewed sense of purpose and professionalism.”
Through initiatives like this, the Hollywood Foundation continues to shine a spotlight on the power of CSI, changing lives one community at a time. The support from the Hollywood Foundation ensures that young people can dare to dream big because they are receiving the tools and opportunities to chase those dreams—both on and off the field.
