BOIPATONG.- Sipho ‘Six’ Busakwe, a well-known South African freestyle footballer, is mentoring youngsters through his Six Foundation.

Speaking to Sedibeng Ster Sport at World Intellectual Property Day at Vaal University of Technology (VUT), Sebokeng Campus recently, Buswake said his foundation focuses on young talent.

He was invited to entertain guests with his freestyle skills.

He has been in this business for some time now and has traveled the world to showcase his talent.

Sedibeng Ster Sport has been following his freestyle career – his most notable achievement was when he won the Red Bull Freestyle South Africa Championship back in 2012.

To date, this former The Birds FC player is one of the most talented footballers who could have walked into any PSL team but chose a freestyle career instead. He told Sedibeng Ster Sport that he wanted to be unique.

He said freestyle is a unique career and not everyone can do it. He said juggling the ball might look simple, but it takes a lot of practice. Busakwe said he decided to establish his Six Foundation to mentor kids who want to be freestyle footballers.

“Look, the sad reality is that not everyone can be a soccer player, especially a professional soccer player. Six Foundation is here to mentor those kids who aspire to be ball jugglers. I was a good soccer player, but realised I have another talent, which is being a freestyle footballer. I also help those who play soccer because freestyle helps them in terms of first touch. I have worked with many young soccer players to help them become better players,” said Busakwe.
