Goitsemodimo Mosepele has made history at his school for being the first to represent the school abroad in swimming, since it opened its doors in 1986. The learner has become an inspiration at his school.
His father, Nkagisang Mosepele, explains, “We are proud of our child because with the little bit that we have at home, we have put him on the map. Now he is going to Germany, despite of our meagre money. When he comes up, he is going to uplift us.” “I realised that a lot of children do not know how to swim and they drown, as a result. With the skills that I have learned, I can save them. I would like to become a lifeguard or a professional swimmer.”
“We managed to teach him how to breathe in and out inside the swimming pool, as he used to swim in the quarries. I have courage that he can encourage other learners to swim more, as disabled as he is. Nothing is difficult for them.”
