Help make eShowe dancers' dreams a reality
These two talented dancers from Eshowe High School have been selected to represent South Africa at the UDO World Street Dance Championships in the UK.
As part of the All-star team, they would compete with dancers from across the globe, showcasing skills in the genres of street dance including breaking, hip hop and others.
'While this is a fantastic opportunity for our learners, there are many costs involved,' said Eshowe High School principal Mr Edward Curtis.
'Flights, accommodation and transfers amount to R33 310 for each learner, not including visas, meals, SA kit and entry fees.
'Your support will play a vital role in helping our athletes achieve their dreams and represent South Africa on the international stage. We appreciate your support in making our learners' dreams a reality.'
Amukelwa took on the global stage last year at the UDO World Championships, where he reached the semi-finals in both the duo and solo categories.
Amukelwa's other impressive achievements include 1st place for Duos in Gauteng IPT 2024 (inter-provincial tournament), Sportsman of the Year (2024), KZN representative in Cape Town, and Top Dance Athlete in U18 in Cape Town Honours Re-awarded.
Omnene's accolades include 3rd place U14A females (fixture); Most Improved Junior Dancer of the Year (2024); 3rd place duo at IPT; and selected to be part of the SA team (2024).

BREAKING: Kaizer Chiefs announces new striker
Kaizer Chiefs have announced the signing of new striker Etiosa Ighodaro. The 24-year-old Nigerian forward scored five goals in 25 matches last season for AmaZulu. He was on loan to the KZN-based side from Mamelodi Sundowns. In recent weeks, the striker has been linked to Kaizer Chiefs after his loan spell ended at AmaZulu. On Tuesday morning, Amakhosi announced that the Nigerian forward was their eighth signing of the season. 'Kaizer Chiefs have acquired the services of another striker, Etiosa Ighodaro. We would like to welcome him to the Kaizer Chiefs Family!' the club said in a statement. In July, the Soweto giants signed another striker, Flavio Silva. The 29-year-old Portuguese has yet to play an official match but did impress during Amakhosi's Toyota Cup match against Asante Kotoko. Amakhosi have won their opening two matches this season in the Betway Premiership and will look to extend their winning streak on Tuesday against Richards Bay.

Red Bull Shay' iMoto static car revs up Durban
RED Bull Shay' iMoto is revving up the hype and excitement ahead of their much-anticipated KZN debut at Suncoast Casino on Sunday, August 10, when the smell of burning rubber will overpower the salt-tinged air of Durban's Golden Mile. The event organisers have announced the 16 drivers that will go head-to-head in the spinning competition. However, before they can get into gear for the competition, the Red Bull Shay' iMoto static car has been doing the rounds in Durban, making all the right noises. The car was a hit in Phoenix, drawing the attention of fans and car enthusiast alike. The static car will also make a stop in Umlazi on Saturday, August 2, at Fresh Stop Mega City and Max's Lifestyle. The event organisers said that this was the perfect way to announce the arrival of the spinning elite who will gather at Suncoast to claim their place in motorsport folklore. 'Durban has always been different. It's where the spinning scene carries its own distinct flavour, influenced by the city's multicultural energy, its proximity to the ocean, and its reputation as the playground of KwaZulu-Natal,' said the organisers. Also Read: Tyre-screeching treat for Durbanites at Red Bull Drift event Among the confirmed line-up are returning champions carrying the weight of expectation, hungry newcomers with nothing to lose, and local heroes finally getting their home ground advantage. 'The Durban crowd will witness battles that extend beyond the track. Old rivalries will reignite under the coastal sun, while new ones are born in the heat of competition. Indeed, the move to Durban represents more than a change of venue, it's a homecoming for a sport that has always belonged to the people,' said the organisers. They added, 'Each driver brings their own story to the tarmac. Some learnt to spin in the shadow of mine dumps, others perfected their craft along beachfront promenades. Some are third-generation spinners, carrying family legacies in their DNA. Others are newcomers who discovered their calling in the smoke and thunder of previous Red Bull Shay' iMoto events.' The list of top 16 drivers includes Boksie, Jabu, Magesh Junior, Makgasa Fire, Robin Fortuin, Sadz – Flyboxin, Skopas / Bad Company, Team 2xspicy JZ, Team Kayla, Team Nevs, Team Osizweni, Team VQ25, Vaaitjie, Ziko and Lockdiff. Tickets are available via Computicket for what promises to be a defining moment in SA motorsport.
