Bohlale "Littleman" Mafokate, a ten-year-old racing sensation from Soweto South Africa, is on the cusp of making history by representing his country at the prestigious Ohvale Guangzhou Supercup in Guangzhou, China, from July 31 to August 4, 2025.
Having dominated local racing circuits since he was four years old and securing multiple South African championships, Bohlale has earned a coveted invitation to compete against the world's best young riders.
However, "Littleman" has less than two weeks to raise funds so he can reach his dream of competing on the big stage.
"I've been working so hard since I was little, I'm hungry to show what South Africa can do on the world stage, China is my first big step towards racing internationally," said Bohlale.

His journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Starting on a pocket bike at a young age, Bohlale's natural talent, fearless focus, and dedication to training have propelled him to the top of South Africa's junior racing scene.
With the departure date set for July 27 – less than two weeks away – Bohlale's dream hangs in the balance due to the significant costs associated with international travel and logistics.
To help make this trip a reality, a BackaBuddy campaign has been launched to rally support from the South African public, businesses, motorsport fans, and anyone who believes in nurturing young talent and national pride.
"We are bursting with pride for Bohlale. This invitation is everything he's worked for, but the reality is we have less than 14 days to secure the funds needed. We simply cannot do this alone," says the appeal on the BackaBuddy campaign page.
"We are pleading with the South African public, businesses big and small, motorsport fans, and anyone who believes in supporting young talent and national pride. Every Rand donated gets Bohlale closer to that starting grid in Guangzhou."
