What better way to end a friendly game than with a mini varsity tour? 🏛️🏐

A meaningful experience that allowed our young players to see opportunities beyond the netball court.

For many of our girls, this was the first time stepping onto a university campus. Dreams got bigger.

The journey continues. The growth continues.

Today, Genesis Netball Club has the privilege of being hosted by the UniMpumalanga Netball Team for a friendly match.

We sincerely appreciate the UMP team for making time for us despite their busy schedule. They gave our players a competitive and challenging game, providing an invaluable opportunity to test our skills, learn, adapt and grow.

Beyond the result on the court, today was about development, exposure and building relationships. Our players walked away with valuable lessons, greater confidence, and a better understanding of what it takes to compete at a higher level.

Most importantly, we appreciate the opportunity to connect, network and build a relationship with the University of Mpumalanga. We hope this is the beginning of many more opportunities to learn and grow together.

We are grateful for every organisation, coach, parent and community partner that continues to believe in the potential of our players. When we invest in grassroots sport, we invest in the young people who will shape our communities tomorrow.

Thank you, UMP Netball Management Team, for hosting us and for the spirit of sportsmanship.

The journey continues. The growth continues.

This is more than farming. This is poverty alleviation in action. This is food security growing from the ground up. This is skills development happening in real time, right here at Zakheleni Primary School.

If this is what we can achieve with limited resources, imagine what a little financial support can unlock.

Help us farm a bigger portion and create a bigger impact for our community. Share this video and let it reach someone who can help us grow further.

Today at Genesis, we had the privilege of hosting an engaging Money Fo'Sho financial literacy workshop facilitated by Bongani Magagula from Avovision in partnership with Clientele.

"Why plan five years ahead when you're still trying to survive this month?" This is the reality for many young people in eMhlambanyatsi and surrounding communities. While planning for the future is important, many young people face daily challenges where a single emergency can derail even the best-laid plans.

The workshop unpacked thought-provoking questions: Does the hustle build resilience, or does it keep young people trapped in survival mode? Through open discussion and practical financial literacy lessons, participants explored how to move beyond merely surviving and begin building a more secure and sustainable future.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Bongani Magagula and his team for empowering our young people with the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to make informed financial decisions. Together, we are helping young people shift from a survival mindset to one of opportunity, growth and long-term success.

Every nonprofit, regardless of its mission or size, depends much on trust. Private companies provide support because they believe the organisation can deliver results.

That's why we're committed to assisting the private sector to intervene meaningfully through their corporate social responsibility programmes.

We’re grateful for partners like Ackermans Dayizenza who walk this journey with us and trust us with their programmes.

FROM NO SHOE SOLE TO THE TELKOM NETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS

A GENESIS NETBALL CLUB SUCCESS STORY

We still remember day one when our Genesis Netball Club star, Asanda Mahlanya, walked into trials with NO SHOE SOLE and still gave it her ALL.

That day taught all of us something we will never forget: greatness is not about what you have. It’s about what you’re willing to give.

From that moment on, Asanda’s journey became our journey.

From the dusty courts of eMhlambanyatsi, through early mornings at Valencia Sport Complex, through sweat, discipline and setbacks, Asanda kept showing up.

And from 05 - 10 July 2026, that commitment took her all the way to Dr EG Jansen Hoërskool, Boksburg, Gauteng, where she proudly represented the Mpumalanga Ehlanzeni Netball Association U/19 team at the Telkom Netball Championships 2026.

This is what grassroots development looks like.
It starts here, with limited resources but unlimited belief.
It grows through character building, the afternoon practices, the team talks, the lessons in humility and resilience.
It is carried by teamwork - by coaches who stay late, by team management who plan and push, by teammates who train hard beside each other, and by a community that prays and supports.

Asanda did not get to nationals alone.
She carried Genesis on her bib.
She carried Mhlambanyatsi in her heart.
She carried every young girl watching from our sidelines who now knows: “If Asanda can, I can too.”

She came back with more than match experience.
She came back with exposure, with growth, and with proof that the future of South African netball is being built right here in our communities.

To our players: keep showing up. Pack your kit. Pack double shoes. Keep going.
To our coaches, management, and volunteers: thank you for building players and people.
To eMhlambanyatsi and all our supporters: thank you for believing in our youth.

We are beyond proud of you, Asanda.
You made Genesis proud. You made us all proud.

The future of South African netball is bright.
