Former Khayelitsha female boxer Andiswa Madikane

 Andiswa Madikane

Andiswa Madikane is 26, unemployed, a single mother of two children and shares a two-bedroom makeshift house with eight other relatives in Khayelitsha. Her way to the top — and that teary-eyed finale — would be that she trains young girls how to throw punches at a township boxing gym while making a difference in their lives. Andiswa Madikane was in the studio telling us about her dream, her highlight in the rings and what it means to be a female boxer in the township.
