Through the Kaka Empire mentorship program, eight teams battled in various categories during the full-day event.

He also took to social media to congratulate the winners announcing that the next edition will be in April.
"What a weekend. 8 teams, One Winner. Congratulations to Makongeni’s MASA on retaining the Ligi Soo Mentorship Championship Title.Thanks to everyone who made the league possible."
