LIV2Run – LINDI’S STORY

As a child I was full of energy. As soon as I could walk, I started running. I remember my family paying me to keep still on many occasions.  Like many athletes my running career started on the cross country field in primary school.

LIV2Run – PHAKAMANI’S STORY

My life started in one of the biggest Townships in South Africa – Imbali Stage 2 in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. I was born on 12th January 1992 and am the firstborn in a family of 6, 5 siblings and a father, unfortunately my mother passed away.

A NEW CHANCE FOR PHAMELA’S FAMILY

Phamela and her husband came to the new LIV Cape Town ECD to enroll their daughter, Naledi. In speaking to them I learned that they have 4 children. I asked about work and both responded that they are unemployed. Her husband was retrenched at the end of 2022 and Phamela struggled to find work despite having a Matric qualification and a Driver’s Licence.
