TWO Woodridge College learners recently had an opportunity to learn from Proteas cricketer Lutho Sipamla at St Albans.
The learners were Kuhle Siqwepu, son of the well-known Nelson Mandela Bay businessman, Andile Siqwepu, and Sine Mzondo.
According to Sipamla, hard work and discipline pays dividends for the dedicated individual all the time. The Port Elizabeth-born cricketer said, “Enjoy the game, boys. You must work very hard and you must appreciate what is being done for you as sportsmen by your parents and families.
“There are other children who would like to be star players but their parents cannot afford to give them the opportunities.
“You must also have a passion for sport.”
Siqwepu said that they were humbled by the advice from the national team bowler.
“His advice really moved us immensely; in so much that Sine and I will do everything to make sure we succeed for our parents and families. Definitely, we are optimistic that we will utilise all the opportunities we have been given to full potential so that we can make our dreams become a reality.”
Mzondo said, “We are not going to let our parents and families down but we will raise the bar. We will do all in our power to succeed in sport and in life.”
