“Cricket saved my life” – Geoffrey Toyana

09/01/20 • 39 min

Falling in Sport podcast is about remembering why we love sport. Deciding “what” we love about sport on the other side of a pandemic. In the first episode, Mzamo Moloi talks to acclaimed cricket coach Geoffrey Toyana about his cricket journey, how the game saved his life and addressing the "elephant in the room" in South African cricket.
Sport also helps us exercise our hope muscles. We also chat to cricketer Solo Nqweni on his recovery from the auto immune disease, Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Solo shares about lessons learnt in self-isolation, gratitude and why he has unfinished business with cricket.
Let's fall in sport.

Falling in Sport Extra: from Soweto boy to Mamelodi Sundowns fanatic

Between episodes of Falling in Sport we release content that didn't make the final edit but was too good to leave on the cutting room floor. In this first Falling in Sport Extra, coach Geoffrey Toyana explains how a Soweto boy becomes a Mamelodi Sundowns fanatic, while living in a Kaizer Chiefs & Orlando Pirates household. And how good he'd be if he had played T20 cricket.
