“Kimina, akubonakalanga sengathi ngesula ngokuphelele ekufundiseni, njengoba indima yami ebholeni yayihlanganisa ukufundisa nokuqeqesha. Kwakunezinkulumo eziningi nokwahlulela, kodwa umndeni wami wangeseka,” esho.

UMdaka usesebenze namaqembu amaningana eminyakeni edlule. Ubeyingxenye yamaqembu ezobuchwepheshe e-Pillars ne-Dynamos, aphinde abe ngumqeqeshi oyinhloko ku-Marumo Gallants.

Ngenyanga ezayo, iRaymond Mdaka Foundation izosingatha umqhudelwano wayo waminyaka yonke wezikole zamabanga aphansi. Kulindeleke ukuthi kuqhudelane amaqembu ayishumi nesithupha ebhola kanye nayishumi nesithupha ku-netball.

UMdaka uthi ukhethe ukugxila ezikoleni zamabanga aphansi ngoba ekholelwa ekuthuthukisweni kwentsha. Ufuna ukusiza ekwakheni amathuba emisebenzi kubadlali abancane futhi ashiye umlando ebholeni laseNingizimu Afrika.

Umqeqeshi owinile uthi ukusebenzisana ngokubambisana kubalulekile empumelelweni yaMajita.

“Ngiyaziqhenya futhi ngihloniphekile ukuthi ngihole amaqhawe ethu asemasha ngendlela emangalisayo ekunqobeni ku-AFCON U-20! Lokhu kunqoba akukhona nje ukuwina enkundleni.
