Statement by Zandile Phiri, Acting Secretary General of the United Democratic Movement
The United Democratic Movement (UDM) proudly congratulates the South African U20 national football team for making history by clinching the U20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title for the very first time on Sunday evening in Egypt.
This monumental achievement is not only a victory for the young men who gave their all on the pitch, but a triumph for the entire nation. It affirms the immense potential that lies within South Africa’s youth and signals a bright future for our footballing landscape.
The UDM acknowledges the dedication of the players, the strategic brilliance of the coaching staff, and the unwavering support of South African fans both at home and abroad. This win comes at a time when the country is in dire need of moments that unite and uplift. The determination, discipline, and unity displayed by the U20 squad serve as a blueprint for success and an inspiration for youth across the nation.
We call on all South Africans to celebrate this milestone and to continue investing in grassroots sports development so that future generations may build on this foundation of excellence. Well done, Amajita! You have made the country proud.
