New initiative encourages boys to be the best they can be
Future Kings and the KZN Cricket Union have joined up in an innovative partnership.
THE KwaZulu-Natal Cricket Union and the Future Kings initiative have joined forces to encourage young men to be the best version of themselves through their actions and to take responsibility in their life’s journey.
Founder of the programme, Rams Mabote, felt that something had to be done about how men were acting in society.
Teaching young men and boys about what is acceptable and how they should act is the crux of the programme.
“Future Kings was started as a response to the role men are playing in destroying society through women abuse, sexual violence and crime in general. We aim to create the next generation of men to set a better standard and get them to contribute positively to the growth of society. We do this through mentorship of teenage boys by exposing them to platforms where they can have hope again, and serve their communities. We use platforms like cricket and sport in general to connect boys with their role models, and to dream about success and how they can use sport to contribute to society,” Mabote said.

The Dolphins franchise has a number of players that have represented South Africa across the world and will be endorsing the Future Kings initiative.
Having decided on the partnership with Mabote, marketing and PR manager of KZN Cricket, Nana Ngubane, believes that KZN Cricket and the Future Kings initiative are a perfect fit.
“Future Kings is an organisation that is a seamless fit to the narrative of KZN Cricket Union about mentoring young talent. Future Kings brings the mentorship balance into the equation. Celebrating the good guy, the guy that stands tall and proud for his community and leads by example by paving the way for those that are walking behind him. He stands up against abuse, bullying and crime. I encourage KZN fans to stand up and join us Sunday, 10 March at the South Africa vs Sri Lanka ODI as we raise awareness about mentorship for young men and spread this message,” she said.Two Hollywoodbets Dolphins and Proteas stars, David Miller and Andile Phehlukhwayo have jumped on board in support of Future Kings.
