Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp in Cape Town
CAPE TOWN – Jurgen Klopp is driven by passion and, to navigate his way through the harsh, unpredictable terrain that is modern-day professional football, he has just one tool: his common sense.
The presence of the amiable yet charismatic Liverpool manager was the highlight of a fund-raising event organised by Second Division club Hout Bay United at the Bay Harbour Market on Wednesday night.
It was a fantastic evening for the Hout Bay United Football Community, a new club on the block formed with the stated intention of uniting the disparate communities of Hout Bay through the sport of football.
It’s the reason why the C in the name stands for community rather than club.
In a region where the very rich and the very poor live cheek by jowl, the Trust which operates the club is attempting to instil some pride in the community.
It wants to do its small bit in uniting the three communities of Hangberg, Imizamo Yethu and the Valley.
It wants to break down barriers, bring people from all walks of life together and create opportunities by unlocking the latent energy of the area.
