Story

I’m an internationally qualified basketball coach from South Africa, Thuso Moiloa, FIBA License Number:  202201421, I recently started an Academy with a friend of mine that played International soccer and is a qualified International coach Mandla Christopher Zwane who is currently in India about to depart for south Africa in the next few weeks as his contract is done and this initiative is our next huge project. Briefly as a basketball player I played for AND1 ESPN Basketball Club, South African National U23 Team, South African National Senior Team, Pro Basketball in South Africa for over 15 Years. Travelled countries like Egypt, Singapore, Taiwan, Nigeria, Kenya through basketball. Coach Mandla has also in a 15 year career played for teams like Orlando Pirates (RSA), South African National Team (Bafana Bafana), Supersport United (RSA), Selangor FC (Malaysia), FC Porto (Portugal),  F.C. Penafiel (Portugal), Gil Vicente F.C (Portugal), He also has a CAF A- License. He travelled around around the world to countries like  Algeria, Tunisia, Nigeria ,Senegal, DRC, Mozambique, Namibia, Mauritius,  Malawi, Kenya, Sudan  Argentine, Netherlands, Singapore, England.We have produced players of the highest quality that play overseas and locally and now we want to give back to our community. We did not make enough to be able to sponsor these kids personally and our country is going through a financial and employment crisis that should not be the reason these kids don’t reach the stars.

Our academy needs help with refurbishing the basketball court, playing uniform and most of all playing shoes. We are hoping for either donations to get these things done or you can honestly just do it for us so we can have a place where we can prepare the Messi’s and Lebron James of tomorrow. These kids are from homes that are struggling to make ends meet, they are the hope for their families to get out of poverty and we are willing to do everything possible to see this happen.

We would really value the help as we have seen what sport and a dedicated qualified coach willing to see you succeed can do, we have travelled the world and raised families through sport, we want the same for  these kids that do not have the means. We also have direct contact with universities and high schools that offer Student Athlete Scholarships around the world where we will make sure these kids get a chance to study further and have a better life to be able to help take care of their families.
