The inaugural Ted Dumitru Memorial Lecture is set to take place on Tuesday afternoon at the SAFA eThekwini offices in Durban, as South African football gathers to honour one of the game's greatest thinkers and development pioneers a decade after his passing.
Organised by the QB Ingomuso Foundation, led by renowned football development expert and former Ted Dumitru student Zipho Dlangalala, the event seeks not only to commemorate 10 years since Dumitru's death in May 2016, but also to reflect on the direction South African football has taken since then.
Scores of football technicians, coaches, administrators and development practitioners are expected to attend the landmark gathering. Dlangalala will deliver the keynote address ahead of a panel discussion featuring some of the leading minds in the local game. The discussion will centre around the theme: "Interpreting Football the African Way - Is the African football we see resembling African culture?"
