South African soccer fans in Russia for World Cup dream
Saving money is extremely difficult, but you could end up making your dreams come true!
Fjatuwani, Brian, and Thami from Gauteng decided to make their dream a reality by attending the World Cup in Russia. The trio managed to save R60,000 to make the trip possible.
After following a strict and detailed five-year savings plan, Fjatuwani said on Twitter: “The first time we owned a TV set at home was when I had just turned 8 and I remember that the only programme we watched during that entire cold month of June was the FIFA world cup- France 98’ PS: Our village did not have electricity and the TV was connected via a generator.”
Martin Bester spoke to Fjatuwani about their World Cup journey on Breakfast this morning.
