-
Kuza Talanta Tournament (KTT) is an annual event organized by the local community members of lower Kiteng’ei sub-location, parts of Masongaleni sub location (Athi-Salama, and Yikitaa Villages), and Kathekani Sub-location (Mikomani and Riverside) in Kibwezi East Constituency, Makueni County. Its main objective is to nurture sport talents of the young people and help build their career in this area. 

The forum also brings together members of the community to discuss and find solutions to issues affecting them within the area. Kuza Talanta mtaani is in its fourth year after the idea was started by a few members back in 2019.

TheTournament has grown from hosting four (4) football clubs to nineteen (19) football clubs both for male and female. The vision of the organizers is to facilitate young people in identifying their talents such as football playing and nurture them to careers that can benefit them and the community at large. 

It is also envisioned that time taken by the young people in sports shields them from engaging Non beneficial activities such as drug and substance abuse as well as other harmful activities. It also helps reduce sexual violence and teen pregnancies among girls and young women. 

The tournament is played in three days normally in the month of December with day one and two heavy with football games while day three set aside for final matches for both male and female teams. Day three also allows time to comfortably hold a rewarding ceremony coupled with skill-building speeches from invited guests and organizations. The event pulls a large
congregation (estimated three thousand people) from within and without the community comprising of both young people and adults who come to been entertained and cheer-up their players/teams.

Engagement time varies starting from day one as the games start to day three during rewarding and speech time. Companies/organizations will be at liberty to pitch tents at their appropriate locations for continuous engagement with present community members as the event continues. For advocacy and branding, this event presents an opportunity for companies and organizations to brand teams of their choice as they play through providing them with company branded uniform.
