Khami Prison transformed its grounds into a football venue through a rehabilitation tournament organized by Jesus Behind Bars and the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Twelve teams competed while correctional officers participated alongside inmates to promote healing through sport. Dumisani Nkomo founded the initiative to help prisoners prepare for reintegration into society after completing their sentences.

Samuel Moyo wrote a letter thanking organizers and prison staff for supporting the event. Players competed without proper equipment, with some performing barefoot while referees wore casual footwear. The tournament distributed basic necessities like soap and toothpaste as prizes rather than traditional trophies.

Teams adopted names from famous clubs such as Dynamos, Highlanders, and Manchester City. Dynamos defeated Pirates 7-6 through penalty kicks after both sides finished regulation time tied at 2-2. The program emphasized community responsibility for prisoner rehabilitation beyond government efforts alone.
