Vision Girls

By

If anybody knows what it takes to get to the top in sport it is SA Protea netballer Zanele Mdodana from New Brighton, Port Elizabeth.

Having reached the highest level of participation in netball, Zanele decided to share her expertise and experience with her local community.

This inspiration gave birth to the Vision Girls Netball Academy, which at present is a group of 25 aspirant netballers from various areas in the Nelson Mandela Metro who are currently receiving comprehensive training in basketball, fitness and life skills.

Zanele believes that some of these girls have provincial and even national capabilities.

Zanele’s passion for netball and her plans for a netball academy came to the attention of the Corporate Social Investment arm of The Boardwalk Casino and Entertainment World and they have enthusiastically supported Vision Girls since it began in early January 2011 by supplying kit, as well as playing and first aid equipment.

Editor’s Notes: That Clifford sure does get around – see him on a bicyle here, on a Hobie 16 here and playing netball above.

Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
