Nokuphila sparks
The 17-year-old Nokuphila, who is intellectually impaired, yesterday promised to win a medal at the prestigious athletics event.
"I am happy to be going abroad. I promise my country, my school and most importantly my parents that I will bring home a medal," she said.
Nokuphila, a pupil at Intuthuko Special School in KwaHlabisa in northern Zululand, will compete in the 200m and 400m races.
She qualified during the Special Olympic National Summer Games in September in Cape Town and will now represent South Africa in Athens. She is due back home on July 6.
"I am the eldest of three siblings and want to set a good example for them by doing well. I want to show that in life you can achieve whatever you want to if you put your mind to it," she said cheerfully.
Principal Phindile Nzimande said: "I am proud of Nokuphila. She is a special pupil and despite our school struggling, she is putting us on the map.
"We only have two classes and three park homes - which are overcrowded - but we still manage to produce athletes of Nokuphila's calibre," she said.
Nzimande said their school was very poor yet managed "to get the best out of each of our pupils. We don't look at their disabilities but rather at their individual strengths and work on that."
Intuthuko is a special school for pupils aged between six and 20 years with epilepsy, Down's syndrome, physical disability, autism and intellectual impairment. Most pupils come from poor or child-headed homes.
Apart from the academic curriculum pupils are encouraged to participate in athletics, basketball, cricket, soccer, netball, volleyball, table tennis and dancing.
The school also offers skills, such as sewing, art, home economics and beadwork to ensure that pupils can earn a living in future.
