I studied Journalism and Media Studies at Damelin and have always known I was a storyteller. I started as a sports presenter at Kumkani FM before moving into digital media, writing for Front Runner and later managing social media for GritSports, contributing content creation for Netball South Africa - I combine a love of sports with the power of digital storytelling to bring stories to life.
My Football Story:
While I never played football, I’ve managed to find my place on the pitch through words—capturing the highs, lows, and drama of the game.
Favourite Football Memory:
Watching my first Soweto derby in 2014 live - coming from East London, I had never felt an atmosphere like that. That day, I knew I wanted to be part of this world for as long as I could.

The ex-star has delivered a sharp critique of the Burundian, insisting that the club’s fan base and former players are weary of statistics while the team continues to struggle on the pitch. Amakhosi have endured a disappointing spell lately, grappling with inconsistent results, finishing the season trophyless, and battling to secure a top-eight finish.
The duo made the move from Gauteng to the Cape Winelands outfit during the January transfer window in pursuit of regular minutes, and have since settled into Gavin Hunt’s setup.

The former Bucs captain has sounded a clear call to arms to Sibisi, challenging the centre-back to elevate his leadership as expectations intensify.
