Silindokuhle Sinethemba Mosia is an inspiring figure, excelling in both academics and sports.
Born in Dundee, the 28-year-old began her educational journey at Mphathi Combined School and later matriculated at Thalana High School, where she also ventured into the world of business.

Players can employ strategic moves, such as forming relays, to enhance their chances of tagging opponents.
The excitement of the game lies in its dynamic movements, where players frequently rise from seated positions, sprint and may perform daring dives to secure tags.
