“Not all of us can play football”: Mfene

Mfene said despite the pressure from his friends he chose netball because he loves this sport for fitness. ”I decided to play netball because there are things that I want to achieve especially with my level of fitness. I was playing basketball before, but I decided to join Vaal Stars Netball Club. When I started started it was very difficult because people called me names, but now, I don’t care anymore what they say about me playing netball. I enjoy each and every moment of it and I challenge the youngsters to come and join netball teams. Look, not all of us are going to play football,” he told Sedibeng Ster Sport.

This Jordaan Secondary School Grade 11 pupil told Sedibeng Ster Sport that he would love to play netball at school but that sports is inactive at his school.
