On the other hand, Laffor, 36, is hoping to move up on the list of the most successful players in the history of the PSL since its establishment in 1996.
Laffor, who has been plying in his trade in South Africa since 2005 when he joined Jomo Cosmos, is currently placed joint second with Kaizer Chiefs legend Thabo Mooki on the illustrious list with 14 trophies.
Only Orlando Pirates legend Daine Klate has won more trophies than Laffor with the former having lifted a record 15 titles during his time with SuperSport, Pirates and Bidvest Wits.
Mooki and Klate have both retired from professional football and Laffor will become the second player to win a record 15 trophies if he clinches the South African FA Cup with the Chilli Boys this weekend.
It is for these reasons the Head of State has decided to honour the 36-year-old.
The goalkeeper is already in Uganda after landing on Thursday and is scheduled to meet the President alongside the Minister of Sports Hamson Obua. The custodian will be accompanied by Fufa officials.
On Friday, he will be in parliament where he will be hosted before making a return to South Africa to prepare for Sunday s league assignment against TS Galaxy.

Thanks for the retirement party. Big thanks to Allan Kateregga, Samuel Celubra, and Moses Waiswa for putting this function together. I absolutely appreciate the love.
