“I was sitting at home doing nothing, gained weight, about 12-15 kg. I was thinking too much, I lost hope. And when my son was born I realised I made a mistake and I am paying for it now. My girlfriend encouraged me to start jogging to clear my head,” said Ntshumayelo.

“I would see people on the street while I was jogging and they would tell me they miss seeing me playing football, and I would stop and go back home to cry and sleep.”
