Ex-Downs Defender Embarks on Exciting Limpopo Project
Former Black Leopards and Mamelodi Sundowns defender Luvhengo Mungomeni has informed Soccer Laduma he’s looking forward to his new challenge as sporting director of a club in the ABC Motsepe League.
Mungomeni is the sporting director of Goue Seuns FC, who have bought a status in the Limpopo ABC Motsepe League – the third tier of South African football. The club was founded by local businessman and community builder, Aifheli Mbedzi.
According to Goue Seuns, they will represent the Makhado Local Municipality situated in Venda.
“It will be a good one. We are going to try our best to make it a reputable one. It’s going okay. The boys are training, and the coaches are assessing players. It’s an exciting project for me, because it’s the kind of project that I’ve been crying for in my village,” Mungomeni told this publication. “We just don’t want to be in a project where tomorrow we say, ‘Let’s leave it. It’s not beneficial’. For us it’s to take those kids, underprivileged ones, and have the good talent and send it to the Premier League or professional ranks. That’s what we are going
to try and do. Yes, I know there’s Venda Football Club in our area, but we are going to feed those professional teams,” he continued. “Unless if God says, no, you are going to the professional ranks, then we will go. It’s two-fold; either we win promotion or we produce players for professional teams.”
Mungomeni is confident that many players would come through Goue Seuns FC, given that the Venda areas have produced a lot of professional players.
“If you check our area, Nzhelele, it produced so many players. You can count Rudzani Ramudzuli, Joel Masutha, Richard Lishivha, Amon Phophi, Mashudu Mamphitha… so it’s a lot of them. The area has been producing professional players, and we are trying to revive that,” added Mungomeni. The ABC Motsepe League 2026/27 season is expected to kick off next month.
