Netball circle
beginning Netball class.
Mandisa, Andiswa, and Viktorija
Viktorija with two of her Netball students.

Where did u come from?
This guy showed up one day at the basketball court. He lives nearby, has finished high school but did not pass the Matric exam. He is unemployed and living at home, but trying to pass the exam. He would occaisonally come and play basketball with us.
