The Mangaung/University of the Free State Community Partnership Programme (MUCPP) and MTN have launched a partnership at a function held at the multi-purpose MUCPP Centre. The joint venture has resulted in the revamping of the multi-purpose sport and recreational facility at MUCPP.
The facility caters for sporting codes such as netball, basketball, cricket, volleyball and a 5-a-side soccer. The launch coincided with MTN’s community social investment project, called Yellow Care.
