KwaThema – The ladies of the KwaThema Sports Confederation were visited by the face of SokaFit South Africa, Faith Modise and her business partner Nozipho Ndlweni, for an information session on SokaFit.
The purpose of the session was to help the attendees turn their passion for sports into a business venture.
SokaFit is an international fitness brand that uses Soca music and dance from Trinidad and Tobago to get people into shape.
The information session was to explain the programme, and how the ladies present can train to become SokaFit fitness trainers who will then go out into their communities and train other people at a low fee.

Ruth Nkosi from the KwaThema Sports Confederation and Bafanation KwaThema Bodybuilding and Fitness says this is a great opportunity to not only improve wellness in their community but also help them improve their lives, as most of them are unemployed.
“You find that in schools, and even pre-schools, there are problems with obese teachers and learners.
“This will help improve their wellness because there are some people who can help with yoga and others with nutrition. “These are the many ways SokaFit can help our communities get well,” says Nkosi.
Another member of the KwaThema Sports Confederation and Bafanation KwaThema Bodybuilding and Fitness Rachel Kgapola says she would encourage people to join SokaFit because their methods of exercise are fun and interactive.
“SokaFit is not the usual kicking and punching. It is dancing and when you dance you get fit.
“People dread going to the gym but this is a fun way of getting and staying fit,” she says.

Nkosi says while the fitness part of SokaFit is important, once trained, the fitness trainers should not neglect the business part of it because since they are unemployed. It can be a great way for them to have a livelihood.
The Bafanation KwaThema Bodybuilding and Fitness team will be at the next KwaThema Sports Confederation Multi Code games on June 15 at the KwaThema Stadium for an aerobics session.
