For the Mamelodi Ball Factory, Green Feet wanted firstly to collaborate with another African partner, and secondly wanted to find a competent "ball maker" that would be willing to teach facilitators in Mamelodi how to make the Eco balls from waste material.
After a long search, we discovered LUNGA SIDZUMO from Grassrootsocccer in Cape Town.
Lunga is a very dynamic 26-year-old Khayelistsha resident, which besides being a full time coach for Grassrootsoccer as well as managing his own soccer team also finds the time as partner in www.ragballinternational.com to assist youngsters in the township to manufacture soccer balls through which they can generate a small income for themselves.
We are hoping to bring Lunga to Pretoria within the next month to start workshops for Green Feet facilitators.
