May 1962 - N. R Tackles Pro Game's Problems. Chairman

May 1962 - N. R Tackles Pro Game's Problems. Chairman was Ndola's Tom Mtimi - Mr Soccer, a smiling business and newspaperman, town councilor and office bearer on a string of national and civic organisations. This was jus one more for Mtimi - one more that often kept him up all night. Backing him were a group of white pro-soccer prophets led by Luanshya's Arthur Edward Johannson (35 years of soccer administrator). Anxiously they turned out together for big kick-off. When it was all over a happier looking Mtimi told DRUM: Yes, it's O. K. It's going to work. A more guarded Johannson said: It took South Africa 40 years to organise pro-soccer. It took us three months. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
