According to the Citizen, Nomvethe said:

“It is a big thing and we appreciate that happening especially because they were big players in their time. They played at the top level and made their name. It is important for people like them to get into leadership positions in their local associations and impart the knowledge that they have acquired."

“It brings us back to the fact that former players are the best for taking our game forward. Their progress is inspiring us that we need to take ownership of our football.”
