- Description
- The two-hour drive from Cape Town to Worcester is long. But it’s not boring. You pass green, open farmlands where cattle graze. Every now and then, you cross a river or a stream. In the distance, the purple mountains frame the blue sky. Bree River High School In the valley surrounded by the Hottentots-Holland mountains, you find Worcester. Just outside the town is Bree River High School. Wilfred Zebedezela is a student there. He throws the shotput. He lives on a farm outside Worcester and he travels for an hour everyday to get to and from school. ‘At school there isn’t a place where I can train with weights, said Wilfred. ‘So I build my muscles by doing farm work. I would like to practice shotput at home, but I can’t because there is only one shotput at school. I can’t practise at school, as there is no teacher to stay behind in the afternoons with me.’ Ruduwaan Visagie is a 200 metre sprinter. ‘We can’t afford things like starting blocks. We ran in the South African Junior Athletics Championships. But some of our athletes almost couldn't take part. We didn’t have starting blocks. Fortunately, we managed to borrow some.’
