When eta College first saw the Songo.info organisation at work in the Kayamandi informal settlement in Stellenbosch, we knew exactly how we could help!Sipho Madolo, a young volunteer at Songo.info with an exciting future ahead of him as a mountain biker, was selected as an outstanding young South African and was awarded with an eta College bursary to study towards a National Certificate in Sport Management. Sipho began his studies in February this year despite a hectic cycling schedule which included competing in the internationally acclaimed Cape Epic and then being selected to represent SA at the World Mountain Bike Marathon Championships on 29th June 2014. Against all odds, Sipho has managed to balance the demands of both cycling and studying and looks set to complete his qualification before the end of the year. | “I am to complete my studies and then continue to offer my time and improved skills to the Songo.info organisation which does such good work with the kids in Kayamandi. I am also training hard and hope to represent my country again at the highest level”. Sipho has shown the determination to succeed at his sport and to serve his community. |
