With Women’s Month in full swing, many residents in the community are making efforts to commemorate and recognise the importance of the various and vital roles that women play in the world.
A local running club, The 925 Social Club, made sure that they would do a good job of celebrating the excellence of women in their community.

“I started running in January and posting it on social media not knowing that I’m influencing other people to start running,” says founder Thapelo Leholo.
He mentioned that the purpose of the social club is to allow people to interact with each other physically without social media stealing that interaction. Ten people have joined the club already and the numbers are rising.

“I came up with the name which is corporate slang. The aim is that you also utilise the same energy you spend at work to invest in your life,” Thapelo adds.

The club hopes to empower the community by doing various activities such as a 6km run every Saturday morning at 06:30. The club meets at 1378 A Khutsa Street opposite Idla Nathi restaurant.
“We encourage people to never stop working and always take care of themselves. It is also a club that kids in the township can come join,” he concludes.
