NO LIMITS: Single mother Makalima Noluthando loves surfing

Noluthando Makalima and Raemondo Lessing, both proud members of the Roxy Davis Foundation, have been selected to represent South Africa at the 2025 World Para Surfing Championships in Oceanside, California, from 2 to 7 November.

The pair competed earlier this year at the South African Para Surfing Championships in May, where they earned their place on the national team.

For both athletes, the chance to compete on the world stage is a dream come true, but one that comes with immense challenges.
