- The winner of “The Gooner with a Good Heart” was awarded to a supporter who uplifts and empowers their communities.
Betway South Africa is proud to announce the winner of its purpose‑led initiative, “The Gooner with a Good Heart”, a campaign created to honour a South African Arsenal Football Club supporter whose passion for the team is matched by the positive impact they make in their community.
Following hundreds of heartfelt submissions from across the country, Dean Sahabodienhas been selected as the deserving recipient of an all‑expenses‑paid trip to London to watch Arsenal play live at the iconic Emirates Stadium.
Dean Sahabodien, a beloved local mechanic, has become a pillar of support within his community through his unwavering generosity and compassion. Known for never turning away anyone in need, Dean regularly stops to assist stranded motorists, offers help at all hours, and often gives from his own pocket to ease others’ burdens. Despite the personal challenges of balancing work, family life and constant call‑outs for help, his selflessness continues to uplift those around him. His family describes him as a hero with a heart devoted to the people around him, the community he serves, the work he loves, the charity he gives, and his passion for Arsenal Football Club.
Dean stood out for his authenticity, compassion, and the visible difference his work has made in the lives of those around him. These values reflect the spirit of “The Gooner with a Good Heart” and Betway’s belief that sport has the power to uplift communities both on and off the field.
Thanks to Betway’s partnership with Arsenal Football Club, the winner will soon embark on an unforgettable journey to London, where they will experience the electric matchday atmosphere at Emirates Stadium, meet fellow supporters and enjoy exclusive behind‑the‑scenes moments.
