Gone are the days when the entire village would gather around the old "SANYO" radio to tune in to an Ingwe match, conjuring vivid mental images through the commentary that remains deeply ingrained in our memories.

Whenever AFC Leopards was mentioned, I would become fully captivated, disregarding any other tasks while my parents eagerly recited the names of renowned players, influenced by my intense interest in the game. As the club celebrates its 60th anniversary, the festivities remind us how the Ingwe of the past years transformed our weekends.
