This 19-year-old developed soccer shoes for SA’s gravel…
When 19-year-old Musa Maluleka saw how the gravel pitches in his hometown Atteridgeville, Pretoria, wrecked his soccer shoes, he set out to develop shoes which would be durable enough to stand the harsh conditions.
This year his solution, Disktjie soccer shoes, was voted as South Africa’s best student enterprise by the Entrepreneur’s Organisation, where Maluleka won $500, or roughly R7,500, in prize money.
Maluleka said growing up in a township, playing soccer was the one thing that united the community and gave the youth a sense of passion.
