SOCCER MEMORABILIA

If you’re thinking of throwing your World Cup soccer memorabilia away now the season is over, throw it Umcebo Trust’s way.

“When the party is over and the winner is crowned, don’t throw away your flags, vuvuzelas, hats and other crazy fan paraphernalia,” says Robin Opperman, director of the groundbreaking eco-art Umcebo Trust organisation at the uShaka Marine Village Walk

“We are planning a huge tapestry created from actual ‘soccer stuff’ as a way of paying tribute to the fans and people of Durban who shared in the celebration of this historical month”, explains Robin. “We need recycling material that would otherwise end up on rubbish heaps.”

You can drop off your soccer stuff at Umcebo Trust which is situated at Shop B8 & B9 at the uShaka Marine Village Walk. For more information contact the director, Robin Opperman, on 083 793 3408, or email: robin@umcebotrust.co.za or visit www.umcebotrust.co.za
