A tough upbringing for Hillcrest teacher and 500KM Youth Day cyclist, Kwanda Sibiya

Loading player...
Sibaya's upbringing was not smooth at all. "Our father passed away when I was six or seven, our mother was a housewife. And she had to learn quickly after the passing of our dad to bring food to the table for the kids", he describes. Everyone in the community then also had a hand in helping him go from being merely the "the son of a cabbage farmer" to Hillcrest College Science teacher among other accolades. It was this sense of a community collectively chipping in however they could to help them that inspired the conception of Sport for Lives, Manguzi Edition.
