Limpopo’s rising rugby star and Springbok women’s sevens hope, Rembuluwani Ndou, received a major boost when Limpopo Shuttle, Printing and Signage Company's Vhadinda Group recently donated a training kit to her.

After being selected to participate in the Springbok sevens development team camps, Ndou (26) of Tshikota found herself with a dilemma as she did not have the proper training kit. An M-student in public health at Univen and Ndou's agent, General Chauke, then took the initiative to look for a sponsor. This culminated in a relationship with Vhadinda Group CEO Castro Musinyali.

Musinyali saw the potential in her and decided to assist her.

Ndou is now fresh from a training camp in Cape Town and will attend another one in January 2016. She hopes she will be good enough to play in the squad that will represent the country in the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil next year.

Musinyali never tires of contributing to development in his community. His generosity is fast endearing him to his people and is becoming a household name when it comes to giving. Not long ago, he donated a soccer kit to a rural village team that has been struggling without a sponsor. The kit changed the complexion of the team altogether and their performance changed for the better.

"After learning of Rembuluwani 's achievements, I did not need any more motivation to decide to help her. She is our hope and she is doing very well in a sport that used to be known as predominantly white and for men. As a company, we will continue giving her the necessary support and we would like to be part of her success story,” said Musinyali.

Ndou herself said the kit served as a great motivation. “I feel very great and motivated, and I can now promise that I am going to make it to the squad that will represent the country in Brazil next year. I would like to thank Mr Castro Musinyali for having faith in me; with all the support I am getting, there is no reason to disappoint,” she said.
