I promise to work with BetNare and other corporates to help nurture talent and get our young boys and girls out of the streets, away from drugs and other social vices,” said Jalang’o.
BetNare’s Terence Mutongerwa said: “To build a healthy society, our youth must engage in sports. BetNare is here to build a healthy nation by supporting sports.
