Ferdies Rugby stars invited to Dubai Sevens
Two top rugby players from Ferdinand Postma have been selected by Blue Running Sports International to represent a team taking part in the Dubai sevens later this year. Kennedy Chinyama and Kagiso Serobatse, both Grade 12 learners, have been offered a unique opportunity to showcase their talents on an international stage. According to their 1st XV coach, Donnavan Serfontein, they are both exceptional players. 'Kennedy has strong leadership qualities on and off the field. He proved this year that he can carry a team, someone with many talents, he has power, and pace. Kagiso is known for his ability to sidestep opponents. He also scored our winning try against Gimmies last year after using his pace to run around his opponents,' Serfontein said. The cost of this tour is R65 990. The two players need help from the community to give them a chance at sporting excellence through international exposure.

Netball prodigy needs funding for dream Singapore tour
For 18-year-old Amahle the invitation to the tour in Singapore is nothing short of a dream realized. Organized by Blue Running Sports International, the tour offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase her talent on a global stage. But while her dedication and hard work have brought her this far, a major financial hurdle now stands in her way. The total cost of the trip is R70,000, excluding additional expenses, an amount her family simply cannot afford on their own. Although Amahle was raised in a loving and supportive home, her mother, Thembeka Radebe, says that covering such a large sum is beyond their means. 'The cost is overwhelming,' Thembeka shared. 'We're appealing to anyone who can help to support our daughter. She has immense talent in netball, and this opportunity could change her life.' Amahle is already a respected name in local netball circles. She currently captains the Dolphins under-17 team, where her leadership and skill on the court have earned her widespread recognition. Speaking about her journey, Amahle highlighted the discipline and passion the sport demands. 'Netball isn't just a game—it's something you have to love and commit to completely,' she said. 'It challenges you physically and mentally, and it teaches you to stay focused both on and off the court.' Despite her athletic ambitions, Amahle remains grounded in her academics. She's committed to maintaining a strong academic record, knowing that education will play a key role in shaping her future, no matter where her netball career takes her. Amahle is one of just four players selected to represent her school on this prestigious tour. If she can raise the necessary funds, she will depart on December 5 and return on December 15. The Thusi family is deeply appreciative of any support received and hopes the Newcastle community will rally behind Amahle to help her seize this life-changing opportunity.
