Netball player Ndibuho Vhengane, an exceptional athlete, made her name in the school’s sports department with her amazing performance for the season.
She took her netball career to a whole new level and acquired a C+ umpire grading, paving a way for her to be a netball official at Alberton High School.
The 17-year-old fervent athlete represented her school, yet again, in the u-17 Gauteng netball squad.
Ndibuho, who is said to be the fastest u-17 sprinter and highest u-17 long-jumper in her school, thrives in doing more, to inspire and bring about change.
She works a part-time job as an umpire and works full-time at making her mark.
“Alberton High School has seen talent in me and has embraced me for who I am, by helping me find my voice and mould me into the person I am meant to be. My story began back in 2019 when I started to hope and wonder what the world entailed for me. Not long after that, I joined the school’s netball team,” she said.
With the help of her coaches, she reached greater heights.
Ndibuho represented Gauteng in the All Ages Tournament, claiming the title of second-best goal-attack u-14 in South Africa, back in 2019.
“Later that year, my school awarded me with the Best Junior Netball Player award. In the years that followed, I had a hard time finding my feet after an injury but continued to participate in netball, athletics and culture. I then took on a leadership position at school,” she explained.
Ndibuho also commended her school for its continuous support of her journey as she makes significant progress.
“Alberton High has helped me greatly with everything so far in my netball career. I cannot thank them enough for having a fund-raiser at John Dory’s, The Glen on May 4. “They saw a light in me and allowed me to shine brighter than ever in every area of my life,” she said.
She also extended her gratitude to teachers Miss Barkley and Mrs Posthumus for continuously cheering her on and believing in her.
