MOTHERWELL-BASED basketball club, PE Comets, held a glittering function to honour their outstanding players during the 2021 league season at the Raymond Mhlaba Indoor Sports Centre in Motherwell NU 4B on December 19, 2021.
Before the function started, the attendees gave a moment of silence for their late official, Zanele Fohloza Ncipha, who passed away in November 2021. According to PE Comets’ president, Sibongile Fondini, they wanted to motivate their players because their performance levels were immensely high.
Fondini said PE Comets had achieved a lot during the season, despite some challenges the club was faced with.
“One of the challenges was that the club could not run the schools’ basketball league because of COVID-19. I am proud to announce the highlights of the club that PE Comets are Eastern Cape Basketball League champions and Nelson Mandela Bay Basketball League champions. Teamwork has taken us where we are today. I would like to thank all the members of PE Comets for working together.”
