Quotes Before I got the bursary to study at Glenwood in Durban, I was in the development structure and we played against other schools. But things changed after that I don’t think I would be at university if it had not been for the bursary. I would not have been where I am now, because that is when everything started for me. And I would not have made SA under-19 if I had not gone to Glenwood. It was very difficult for me to adapt. I had come from a school where we would only talk Zulu and moving to Glenwood was challenging. The way they would do everything was different to what I was used to It took me about a year to adapt. The cricket development programme helped me prepare for sport at Glenwood because most of the stuff we had to do for cricket at Glenwood, we had done as part of the cricket development programme, so it was not too difficult to adapt. I was also in the sports academy at Glenwood until matric. I think that helped us a lot with fitness and skills. It helped me because it gave me more coaching. I will play for the Proteas – that is my biggest dream. Mfoza dreams of representing the Proteas ,July 2017, Cricket365 by staff I’m the person that comes from a disadvantaged background but that doesn’t stop me from chasing my dream. I’d like to see myself playing on the bigger stage and dominating, but that won’t just happen it will require hard work. My journey to cricket started when I was in primary school. Those were the times when we just played for fun and my interest in the sport started there. I carried on playing and I started to realize my potential in Grade 6. I took it more seriously, I didn’t have the best facilities and the best coaches but I had a drive to succeed and I was passionate about the sport My greatest accolade in cricket is making the SA under 19. Education is vital, it can open doors for you and as a sportsman you also need education cause you’ll never know what the future has for you. A man is a product of his thoughts, what he thinks he becomes. Any athlete goes through rough patches in their career. I think it is a matter of who is mentally stronger, and do you realize that you going through that patch. You must be aware of what you are doing wrong. If you are mentally stronger you will go through that patch quicker. Some people just give up but they do not know that these type of things are like a test, we get tested. My advice to the people is always stay patient when you go through a rough patch. Success is an accomplishment of an aim or purpose. Why do we always have haters? I’m doing what I do because I enjoy it and I want to make a living out of it. I want to be the person that changes other people’s lives and I want to give back to my community and also help the youth that need help.
