Siyamukela Zitha (16), who has been playing basketball for four years, says, “Basketball has very different rules and formations and as a player you rely on your mind a lot.”
He adds that the lack of facilities and sports parks could be the reason many are reluctant to participate in sports.
Lebogang Nkopane (16), a female player, says she has been playing basketball since 2017.

“I have made friends even though some girls think that playing basketball turns you into a tomboy or snob, which is not true. I think a person should come try it out and see whether they will like it or not,” says Nkopane.
Individuals who are interested are welcome to contact Kunene on 078 117 0485 or check out their Facebook page: KwaThema Bulls.
