Okuhle is a 20 year old young man that I've watched growing up as a neighbour in Midrand over the last 8 years. His passion and discipline that I've watched him display in pursuing has nothing short of remarkable. This has made him a role model to all the young kids in our neighbourhood.
How born in Durban in KwaZulu Natal before his family moved to Midrand in Johannesburg before he started high school.
He has been invited back by a leading Italian soccer academy - A.S.D Cadiamare Football Club, after spending 3 months with them in 2023. They have offered to subsidise some of the costs but he still needs to raise R363000 to also cover the cost of study a Digital Marketing Degree in parallel.
The aim of the 12 month academy program would be to train and expose him professional clubs in Italy and other European countries. Below are comments from the academy after he spent 3 months with them last year:
"Okuhle is a fantastic guy who is always available and attentive to carry out his tasks with dedication. Point of reference for those who worked with him to involve the group and manage their tasks off the pitch. He has a desire to learn that he doesn't hide and which has supported him along the way with clear improvements on the pitch."
"Okuhle demonstrated from the first to the last day the desire and perseverance to be able to stay in Italy. We will be happy to have him with us for the remaining part of the season and include him in our partner club to carry out a program of sporting, human and professional growth in football."
