Our Story

Built On Grit.
Driven By Purpose.

The club was formed by the Msomi family in 1996 formerly known as Corovoca Connections based in Avoca Hills. In 2002, it purchased the Vodacom League status from Nathi Lions FC in a collaboration with former Swallows player Mr. Japhet Zwane, Mr. Sizwe Sithole and the late Mr. N Mkhombe. During that period, notable names came out of Inqanawe namely former Kaizer Chiefs striker Sthembiso Ngcobo & former Golden Arrows player Philani Shange.It was then sold to African Wanderers and started a rebuilding phase playing in the SAFA Tongaat LFA and gaining promotion to SAB League while also having the former Nedbank Cup coach with Durban City and current Golden Arrows Coach Mr Pitso Dladla & former Golden Arrows Goalkeeper  Sphamandla Ntombela as our players.The club was inactive after that from 2011 till 2018 when reaffiliated at the SAFA Ndwedwe LFA and participating in the premier and Hollywood Bets Regional League being crowned back to back champions in 2024/25 & 2025/26 season.

Our philosophy is simple: train hard, respect the game, lift each other up. That mindset has produced league titles, and countless personal breakthroughs — both on and off the pitch. Our mission is to close the gap between the fortunate and unfortunate sporting communities through our footballing structures.

Joining  Real Connection FC was a life changing moment as I  had  given up on playing football until the club chairman  approached me and i ended  up playing for South Africa's biggest clubs.

My son  got of the streets which were consuming the youth in drugs and crime. Being part of this club helped him a lot in his growth as  a teenager.

I transferred from many clubs in the past but ever since i came here, it's been nothing but joy. I enjoy being part of the Nqanawe family.
