After volunteering for Made for More, a nonprofit company and Public Benefit Organisation, Zama realised her true calling was to make a difference in the lives of others.

Six years later, she now serves as the organisation’s manager, championing a cause that uses sport as a vehicle for empowerment and inclusion.

Founded by Julia van Zyl, Made for More has its headquarters in Amahl-ongwa, near Scottburgh on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal.

The organisation’s mission revolves around leveraging sport to bring hope, foster relationships and instill values while equipping athletes with disabilities to pursue their sporting careers both provincially and nationally.

It offers a range of services including high performance coaching, exercise therapy, awareness events, leadership camps, mentorship programmes, surf therapy and para surfing.

Zama’s journey with Made for More began while she was still entrenched in the corporate world.
