A proud weekend for Ubuntu as our players represented the Western Cape TDS U15 team in Gauteng. Cianna, Hajiera, Anushka and Charlize helped lead the girls to tournament victory, while Sivu, Mo, Caiden and Cuan battled their way to the semifinals with the boys.

A special shoutout to Cianna, who shared the Goalkeeper of the Tournament award, and to Hajiera, who captained her side throughout the tournament and was also named a joint Player of the Tournament. A special achievement for both girls.

Adding to the occasion, Connor Solomons proudly represented the U14 National Team.

Well done to all our players. We’re proud of you and the way you continue to represent Ubuntu wherever you go.

Last Friday, our staff came together for a day of development, connection and a whole lot of fun.

We swapped the football field and classrooms for the pickleball court, with loads of smiles, plenty of laughter and, of course, a little competitiveness along the way.

More than just a day of fun, it was a chance to connect as a team, enjoy each other’s company and strengthen the relationships that help make Ubuntu what it is.

Growing together, on and off the field.

If you are interested in either of these roles and have the necessary qualifications and experience, we would love to hear from you: [email protected]

Youth unemployment in South Africa sits at over 50%, so it’s not enough for us to just prepare our students to look for opportunities - we have to empower them to create them, both for themselves and others in their communities.

Last Wednesday, our Grade 7s took full ownership of their Market Day. From budgeting to marketing and making sales on the ground, they got a hands-on taste of what it takes to run a business.

And while Market Day can appear to be a fun school project it is these moments that help build financial literacy, resourcefulness, grit, and initiative. We are trusting that our students will learn that when traditional doors seem closed, they have the creativity, discipline, and capability to build their own path.

Congratulations to our Grade 7 Class on running a successful Market Day and our thanks to all the parents, fellow pupils and local Masicorp community members that supported it!

Wishing good luck to our graduate Matthew Palmer, along with alumni Anothando Menemene and Lazola Maku, as they represent the U20 National squad in the U20 COSAFA Cup!

The team kicks off their tournament campaign against Lesotho today, and they’ll be looking to retain the title! Go out there, work hard, and make us proud, gents!

At the start of August, six of our Academy players spent two weeks with our partners, IK Start, gaining firsthand experience of a new environment, a new culture, and a new level of football.

The boys took the opportunity with both hands, making the most of their time on and off the pitch. When not training with the Reserves or staying on top of their schoolwork, they visited Norway’s biggest zoo, tackled an escape room, and tried new foods - getting a full taste of life in Norway.

Two of the six boys were even given the opportunity to train with the First Team, getting a taste of the standards, consistency, and determination required at the professional level. We’re confident these experiences will be invaluable in shaping their growth - both as players and as people.

Next weekend, the DStv Diski Challenge kicks off and this season will see another Ubuntu graduate captaining one of the local DDC teams. Congratulations to our graduate, Solethu “Razor” Mabhenu (Stellenbosch FC) on being entrusted with the captain’s armband, following in the footsteps of fellow graduates, Shaakir Ahmed and Kyle Jurgens (Stellenbosch FC) and Jordan Allies (Cape Town City FC) who also captained their respective sides.

While at Ubuntu, Razor was regularly singled out by his peers for his leadership strengths and for setting an outstanding example, and it’s special to see his growth, character and leadership continue to shine and be recognised by his new teammates.

We’re so proud of you, Razor!
