RHAFIEK'S READY TO ROL

Suidooster actor gives back to the community with Lansdowne fights

- TRACY-LYNN RUITERS

SUIDOOSTER actor Irshaad Ally, best known for his role as Rhafiek in Suidooster, is ready to rol in Lansdowne this weekend.

Ally is stepping back into the community, not on screen, but inside the cage. This Saturday, the Undisputed MMA Championship (UMC) launches at Oaklands High School, a new fight night initiative that blends Cape Town talent, showmanship and youth upliftment.

UMC is a partnership between Ally and Fidaah Edries, owner of Fighterz Inc Gym.

The pair's journey into community development began years ago while volunteering at the Mustadafin Foundation, where they used drama and martial arts as interventions for vulnerable youth.
