Youngsters from Phola on the outskirts of eMalahleni in Mpumalanga have opted to dedicate themselves to sport activities to escape social ills.
The area is known to have a high level of substance abuse among the youth.

However, their dedication has caught the attention of Boots for Africa, an organisation that helps destitute communities with sporting equipment on the continent.
