Jean-Marc Johannes started skateboarding when he was 10-years-old.

"That's when I got my first board. I saw a lot of people doing it while in school and I struggled a lot with sports when I was younger and I discovered skateboarding. It looked like something positive and I wanted to be involved with it. A lot of the kids were doing it and I wanted to give it a try."
After asking his parents if he could get his own board, he looked around the family garage and found an old skateboard which they used when they were younger.

This Mandela Day will be the first-ever marked amongst a global pandemic. As both the sports and eventing industries are massively impacted by being unable to celebrate Mandela Day through physical activations, this year the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund (NMCF) is bringing a massive virtual race – 67 Kilometres for Mandela Day – to homes and streets everywhere.

Mthembu stumbled upon paddling when she went to Shongweni Dam with her friends and after she got involved she was hooked. She has become a trailblazer for black female paddlers having become the first black female to complete the Dusi Canoe Marathon in a K1 in 2019.

“I started paddling in 2013 and I thought it was a joke at first but then I fell in love with the sport.

“After a few months of paddling I started travelling to races and went to Cape Town and Gauteng to race which was exciting.”

The youngster who is currently completing matric will be in for an exciting few months as she juggles her school work and competing on the international stage.

As is the reality for all athletes around the world, the ongoing covid-19 pandemic has presented its unique challenges for South African cyclist Ashleigh Moolman Pasio.A pro rider with the CCC-Liv team, Moolman Pasio is currently based in Spain, and for good reason she says.
“Being a cyclist in South Africa you have many challenges,” she says. “One of these is safety for a woman cyclist… which is unfortunately a reality. The traffic conditions are also not conducive for a relaxed training environment.”

“South Africa also does not have any pro cycling events – yes there are mass participation events with a pro-element, but that’s it,” she adds.

Bafana Bafana pivoted from one ignominious failure to another in the decade after the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The optimism that came along after beating France for the first time, and Ghana soon after, dissipated a year later following the "Dance of Shame" in Mbombela.
South Africa had four full-time coaches in just 10 years, all of whom left the post in sensationally calamitous fashion.
Bafana have not been part of a FIFA World Cup tournament since 2010.

Ten years ago South Africa hosted the biggest sporting event in the form of the 2010 Soccer World Cup. The tournament’s opening game was between the host nation, Bafana Bafana and Mexico.

The game ended 1-1 draw with goals from Siphiwe Tshabalala and Rafael Márquez respectively. Apart from it being the first World Cup on African soil, Shabba’s goal was the highlight of the tournament for most African.
