“The journey to Africa is very long and a very tough one. We will need your utmost support not only your personal support, but through you to the government to aid us, as we go forward on the African mission and also to help our league. I have been to other places recently in South Africa and I can say they have support and sponsorships” he said.
Having triumphed over Hearts of Oak, the Porcupine Warriors are expected to travel to South Africa for the Toyota Cup game against Kaizer Chiefs as part of preparations for the African campaign.
