Engen is proud to congratulate Kwezi Khoza on her well-deserved recognition as the Junior Sports Woman of the Year at the KZN Sport Awards 2024, which took place on Saturday, 02 November in Durban.
Khoza was Striker and Player of the Tournament at the Engen Champ of Champs and went on to excel at the CAF U15 African Schools Football Championship where she finished at the tournament’s highest goal scorer with an impressive 14 goals.
Thanks to exceptional performances at the Engen Knockout Challenge, Khoza is now a member of the South African Women’s U-17 National U17 team.
As proud sponsors of the Engen Knockout Challenge and Champ of Champs, such achievements bear testament to the exceptional work done by Engen in aiding talent identification across South Africa, for young female athletes.
Kwezi’s playing style draws comparisons to South African football legend Portia Modise.
“I am grateful for this recognition and for the support I’ve received. Engen has played a key role in my development, providing opportunities to showcase my talent and open doors for my future,” said Khoza.
“Engen stands proud as brand that has enabled the talent of Kwezi Khoza and thousands of other graduates to be seen and recognised. The Engen Knockout Challenge, as well as other Engen Sport platforms have been intentionally designed to create a platform for such stars to showcase their talents and go on to become international stars” said Engen External Communications Manager, Gavin Smith.
As Kwezi embarks on her promising journey in football, Engen is proud to support her and thousands of aspiring boys and girls who have gone through the Engen Sport platforms that continue to fuel young South African sporting talent.
