Every week EGT will provide profiles of the girs involved in sporting activities

1. Anna Rori 14 Anna’s favorite subjects are Maths, Shona and Science. Her ambition is to be a doctor. Her favorite activities are netball and volleyball. She lives with her elderly grandparents , whom she says are “too old to do big jobs, both of them don’t go to work- they dig in the small fields.” Her school fees are paid by the Red Cross.

2. Tanyaradzwa Kubera 12 After speaking to Tanyaradzwa (Tanya) I realised that she is more familiar with bereavement, than any child her age should be. Although she was too young to remember her mother, she watched both her grandmother and her father die. She has been shuffled from one reluctant relative to another and it is evident that she considers herself to be a burden. She is very shy and introverted.

3. Bongani & Sibongile Moyo Sibongile Bongani I hadn’t realised that we had twins in our programme, so I was prepared to put these two to task as I was under the impression that they had copied each other’s life stories (!) They assured me that they don’t make a habit of trading places because as far as they are concerned they aren’t identical and have very different interests and hobbies.

4. Linda Fortunate Muvuti 16 Linda is tall, elegant and well spoken. She too has watched both her parents and her grandmother pass on. She is a passionate sports woman, and is writing her O’Levels. When asked if she shouldn’t be studying, She responded that it’s important to take a break! A powerhouse!
