“You will only reach your full potential if you work hard. Through hard work, commitment and determination, nothing can prevent you from achieving your full potential and your dreams,” said Motau.
At Malekutu Primary School, 41 u/12 and u/13 girls and 16 coaches attended the netball coaching clinic.
Three Hoërskool Nelspruit (NHS) learners, Jana Ingwersen, Saartjie Breytenbach and Michané Breedt, also assisted Motau and interacted with the girls. “The clinic was not only aimed at coaching the girls, but their coaches as well,” said Chauke.

At the end of the clinic, NHS donated netball balls to Nonhlanhla Mlombo, the head of netball at Malekutu Primary School.
Nelspruit High School would like to invite businesses and schools that would like to be part of the Nellies Care initiative to make contact with them.
Working together with the circuit office, they would not only like to help empower learners, but also their educators and principals with methods, systems and tips to improve education in Ehlanzeni.
