Not all of them can see. In fact, barely can they see. Yet, that doesn’t act as an impediment to their vision of playing like one, akin to a unifying spirit. There are Cricket teams that win. There are cricket teams that lose. And then, there’s the Blind Cricket South Africa; a team that stays true to the spirit of the Madiba-land. A team that upholds the unwavering spirit of what is meant by the Protea Fire, going all out in the pursuit of excellence and in the demonstration of passion. They did just that in a cricket tournament that deserved to make more headlines than it did in 2022: the T20 World Cup for the Blind. Something that was quite evident all December 2022 from the onset of the moment where I stood next to the South African dugout at the Saket Sports complex in New Delhi. Truth be told, it became a place that while being in midst of a live cricket match seemed like a musical congregation. A place where live singing- not rabble rousing- took place in midst of a World Cup cricket match. It was akin to an enthralling saga, albeit one ensuing during the contest against the mighty Australians, where prior to the match and after it, one thing didn’t change. It was the singing of the closely-knit members of the Blind Cricket South Africa team that in a tone apparently Afrikaner rejoiced and cheered on in an apparent display of team spirit.

North Riding-based professional, young, talented and fearless boxer Kaine Fourie continues to dedicate his life to the sport. Fourie, well known as K9, was born in Kempton Park and his father, Kobus Fourie, was a professional boxer. K9 said that he fell in love with boxing at a very young age. “Since I was very young boxing was all over the TV, because my dad was a professional fighter as well. We always liked boxing and it was the only sport we watched basically. I told my dad I wanted to fight when I was 10 years old but he refused and said I must wait till I’m 16 or 17.” Fourie dropped out of school in Grade 10 to pursue his boxing career. “To be honest, I wanted to leave school early maybe in Grade 8. I didn’t know how to tell my parents so I waited. Two years later, when I was in Grade 10, I decided it was time to let them know what I want to do. It was hard to explain to my mother but my dad asked me to show him that I want to do this. I told him I will jog the whole year from school to the gym, 8km every day and I did.” Guest 1 on the line: KAINE FOURIE – SOUTH AFRICAN PROFESSIONAL BOXER

Sailing really is for everyone. This is the message of Durban’s Sail Africa Youth Development Foundation and its “Equity, Education, Environment” (EEE) programme which has won the Hollard Sport Industry Social & Environmental Impact Award for 2022. This initiative encourages equity and gender empowerment within the sport of sailing. As an agent for social cohesion and through their aggressive transformation programme, the Foundation has changed the racial and gender profiles of sailors at regattas in Durban by encouraging equity and gender empowerment. Their internationally-profiled “Girls in Sailing” Programme has seen more females participating in sailing and improving their podium positions, and in the process given these young sailors valuable opportunities. The Hollard Sport Industry Awards took place on Thursday 24 November. Billed as South Africa’s most prestigious awards ceremony for sport and business, these awards acknowledge the leaders and trailblazers within the business of sport. The Social and Environmental Award is open to any professional organisation either within the sport industry, or which uses sport as a vehicle to drive community, environmental, diversity and inclusion or broader social and sustainability benefits. Sail Africa, a Non-Profit Public Benefit Organisation with Section 18 A status, registered with the Department of Social Development in September 2008. It was started with the objective of growing sailors, specifically young female sailors, from diverse ethnic backgrounds. Operating out of Boatman Lane, Durban Marina, the majority of sailing is done within the Harbour precinct. Guest on the line: Jackie De Fin- from SAIL Africa Youth Development Foundation

At most times in our lives, at one point or another, we have come across a bully. Either when we were kids at school, or playing sport on the playground, or more surprisingly, corporate bullies in the workplace. Bullies can break one down physically, emotionally, but, most importantly psychologically. Roy Westfehling is no stranger to this scenario. As a kid he was bullied excessively in school. So much so that it started to dissuade him from wanting to continue going to school, as he faced each day in constant fear. It was at this point that Roy's parents decided to enrol him in a Taekwondo class. Purely, so that Roy could learn some sort of self defense against the bullies at school. What his parents didn't know though, was that they were starting a love affair between Roy & Taekwondo that would go on to last for the rest of his life. Taekwondo quickly went from mere self defense to a way of life for Roy. It instilled more than just the art of fighting in him, it instilled a new found passion, discipline, dedication & confidence that he hadn't found in himself before.

What would you put on the line for what you believe in? For Chris Bertish, the answer is everything. ALL IN! All In, is the latest book from internationally renowned big wave surfer, ocean adventurer, multiple Guinness World Record holder, speaker and author, Chris Bertish, telling his harrowing tale of his 2017, 7500km solo SUP TransAtlantic Crossing from Morocco, Africa to Antigua in the Caribbean. “The book tells the story of my 3months alone at sea and some of the gnarly adventures I went through to do what most people told me was completely impossible,” says Chris Bertish. “Some of the highlights include being targeted by a great white shark, towed by a giant sea squid, capsizing multiple times and surfing down 10-meter waves as challenging as anything I have faced in any Mavericks Big Wave Surfing Championships!” Too many times, Bertish, found himself hanging on the edge of his modified SUP for dear life. He also become one with the elements, and ultimately succeeded in doing something everyone said was simply impossible. This is the story of his incredible journey. The book includes forwards from international ocean heavy weights Lewis Pugh and Kelly Slater, as well as Prof Tim Noakes. “To cross an ocean alone requires real courage. To get to the other side takes huge resilience. To conceive of such a journey in the first place, you need incredible self-belief. Chris Bertish has them all,” says Lewis Pugh, Endurance Swimmer and United National Patron of the Oceans.

Miah Nicke - now 18 years old - was diagnosed with diabetes in 2015 - 11 days after her 11th birthday. She started cycling in 2018 at the age of 14 and started doing so to create awareness because very few people actually know what Type 1 diabetes is - most people know more about type 2. She also started it because many people who themselves type 1 diabetes did not realize that they can do such sports because the challenge seems too big. Her Facebook page is called T1 Dream Chaser (how awesome is that!) – and with the page she hopes to show people much more is possible with type 1 diabetes than they think… https://www.facebook.com/T1DREAMchaser She will be racing in the Munga challenge – the toughest mountain bike race on the planet 😊 Guest on the line: Miah Nicke -Cyclist

In what has always been considered a male-dominated sport, a 14-year-old female athlete is taking cycling in South Africa by storm. Lesego Matjila is a keen sportswoman and has started to pave the way for females in cycling. Her talents have not only been highlighted through her participation with Soweto Cycling Foundation, but have also caught the eye of potential sponsors, one being the well-known hair care brand, Gill, who has supported Lesego by kitting her out with a new bike and riding gear for the 94.7 Ride Joburg cycle race on 20 November. The talented Sowetan was discovered for her running abilities and was introduced to cycling for the first time by her coach, Lebogang Matona. When Matona suggested cycling to Lesego, she had never ridden a bike before but took to it naturally and has since become a strong contestant in cycling events. Talking about her passion for cycling, Lesego added: “This sport means a lot to me because it took me out from the streets and kept me away from things people do here in our location. Having a bike can also help build up my fitness, lead me to win road races and find myself racing in the Olympics.” Guest 1 on the line: Lesego Matjila –South African Cyclist

“The Amashova – South Africa’s oldest classic cycle race – has become a flagship event for the province and it will do a lot to address seasonality and getting people who wouldn’t otherwise take a trip at this time of the year to come to the region,” said Phindile Makwakwa, Acting Chief Executive of Tourism KwaZulu-Natal (TKZN). This promises higher occupancies for hotels and other accommodation facilities during what would normally be a quiet time, enabling the province “to build a lucrative tourism sector that will continue to create sustainable jobs for the people of KZN”, continued Makwakwa. The event was recently placed in the famous Gran Fondo World Tour series – a world cycling series that takes place over eight months across four continents, with the Amashova leg the final race of the season. This has leveraged the event to international standing.

For Jacquin Hess, golf has become the pathway to success. At first, playing professionally was a boyhood dream, but now the 31-year-old travels the world, competes with the best and hopes to one day go up against some of the greatest players of his generation, including one of his sporting idols Tiger Woods. Jacquin, from Robertson in the Western Cape, learnt about golf from the pages of magazines like Compleat Golfer and Golf Digest, piquing his interest at an early age. His mother, a widow, worked at a golf estate on weekends when Jacquin was a boy. He was too young to be left home alone, so he reluctantly tagged along. It was here, whiling away the hours that Jacquin would come to read about the sport. Watching players on the course, he quickly became engrossed in the elegance of the game; one he’d find himself enjoying once he finally hit the green at age 15 Guest on the line: Jacquin Hess - Professional Golfer from Robertson.

South African powerlifting prodigy Nkosinathi Suhail Ntuli returned to Johannesburg on September 19 with a silver medal from the African Powerlifting Championships that were held in Morocco. Besides being crowned the second-strongest 93kg powerlifter on the continent, the medal is the culmination of a fairytale story that starts in Soweto with a little boy who had no idea he’d one day travel to represent his country in a power sport. “I am naturally very excited - and a bit sore - but I am honoured to have represented my country in a sport I love, nevermind travel to another country to do what I love. About two months ago I didn’t think I would even be able to compete but then Zoom Fibre caught wind of my crowd-funding page, sponsored me, and the rest is history,” he says with a contagious smile.

Kevin Lerena hit former world title challenger Mariusz Wach with everything he had but had to settle for a wide 12-round unanimous decision in front of an adoring home crowd Saturday night at Emperor’s Palace. Judges John Shipanuka and Patrick Mukondiwa gave it a shutout at 120-108, with a third score of 118-110 from Tony Nyangiwe.
