Statement from Star For Life Director, Siphile Mdaka

Today, 3200 young people of South Africa  have received footbal shoes, this is  part of nurturing talent...football is the day to day life of many young people (both boys and girls) in our communities..and they play on bear foot and some use plastic hand made soccer balls

Some of us take things for granted, however when you see the realities you understand the impact this project has made to many of them

I want to acknowledge everyone who has made this possible, and to encourage our young people to use this opportunity to develop their talent even further

Starforlife - a nation builder

Macabuzela primary students very happy after receiving shoes.

Indeed a nation builder , we are creatinng champions for the future , taking resources to where they are needed the most . The picture above bears testimony of that.

Happy students from Mduku High school

We are really moving up the steps last week we reached our 21st High school and 9 primary schools , it is going very very fast .



Stars in the making.

From humble beginnings today we are watching them they will be watching us playing , is it great to see the future stars.The joy from the youngsters above couldnot be explained , they were lining up to receive shoes .

If you walk step by step you can reach anywhere you want to go , Yesterday the beneficiaries were two primary schools Makhowe and Nompondo . It touches your heart to see small kids appreciate the gifts.

Part of the vision and mission of  Star For Life is to inspire youth to believe in their dreams . As you can see in the picture above the youth of oPhaphasi near Godloza celebrating after getting the boots.

Step by step we will reach the top of the stairs three more schools from Nongoma i.e Banzana , Mandlakazi and Prince Bhokwe were the beneficiaries of the shoes.

Yeterday we travelled to a small community of uPhaphasi area just outside Hlabisa town . The girls were eager to see what will happen since we were delivering shoes to local clubs not the school . The teams have been waiting for us since 9am and we arrived just after elleven . The joy from the teams was unbelievable , imagine playing bare foot on the pitch with no grass and today your life will change after getting one pair of shoes. The total beneficiaries were 69 players consist of boys and girls . The day ended at 14h00 with a lot of jubilation from the players.

Adrive north towards Nongoma next to the King Palace, His Majesty the King Zwelithini Goodwill was our next stop to deliver the shoes to three schools. The beneficiaries are Mchitheki, Phumanyova and Nhlahlayethu. We were met by enthusiastic students who were eager to receive the shoes.
