T-Bose spoke To Para-Athlete Palesa Deejay Manaleng

To wrap up a series of our inspiring stories of “Marching On”, T-Bose spoke to Palesa Deejay Manaleng. Palesa experienced a life-changing cycling accident when her bicycle brakes failed on a downhill slope, causing her to crash into a palisade wall. She sustained severe injuries, including a dislocated spine, broken ribs, a punctured lung, a fractured shoulder, and a head injury, resulting in complete paraplegia. Despite these challenges, she has excelled as a para-athlete, becoming a national champion in track events (100m and 200m) in 2016 and 2017, and in cycling from 2016 to 2021.
