Fitness: How South Africa’s U15 Girls’ Baseball team is breaking barriers

South Africa’s U15 Junior Girls' Baseball team is rewriting the narrative in a sport long dominated by men. With raw talent, relentless drive, and a shot at competing internationally in the United States, these young athletes are closer than ever to turning their dreams into reality. Yet without financial backing, this defining opportunity could slip away.  Africa Melane is joined by fitness enthusiast and mental wellness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen, the team's head coach Zulfah Stellenboom, and young talent Boston Benjamin.    Early Breakfast with Africa Melane is 702’s and CapeTalk’s early morning talk show.  Experienced broadcaster Africa Melane brings you early morning news, sports, and business, with in-depth interviews featuring politicians and analysts to help make sense of the world.
