Tottenham Hotspurs` involvement in South African affairs stretches far beyond the field of play with the charity work that the club has undertaken since their last visit in 2007. Their Children`s Village project has seen them built an orphanage in Rustenburg, situated in the North Western part of the country.

Gary Mabbutt, the club`s very well known legend, has now revealed where all the money to carry out this very charitable work comes from, players` fines. “When a player comes late for training or something like that, they are fined.” said Mabbutt, much to the delight and surprise of those present at the pre-tournament press conference to welcome the Londoners.
Maybe the two Soweto giants that are going to meet Spurs on the field of play in the next two weeks might take a leaf out of English club`s book. I hasten to add that we might see a record number of orphanages being built in South Africa……
