Skepe Nketole Arrives For 2023 Philly’s Games Match In A Helicopter

If football peaks after this one then it will the greatest peak of all time! South African football is that gift that keeps on giving.

This time it was the turn of Skepe Nketole to give tot the world the absolutely absurd! The team arrived for the 2023 Philly’s Games spectacularly in a helicopter for their encounter against Alex Cheese FC.

This remarkable and unexpected arrival delayed the game by 15 minutes as the ‘bird’ landed on a gravel football pitch in the township of Ivory Park in Midrand, north of Johannesburg. A video of this spec actor is now doing the rounds on social media as tongues wag over the madness.

The Philly’s Games are one of several tournaments that take place during the festive period around South Africa. Traditionally, they serve as entertainment while the local football season is in recess during the Christmas and New Year’s Day celebrations.

They are also a platform for unseen wannabe-pros to be scouted should the opportunity arise. Also, it’s where unserious wizards get to show off their entertaining, controversial and divisive ‘kasi flava’ showboating. The latter is probably the biggest draw of these tournaments.
