Sandile Mbili lost his legs four years ago – but he doesn’t let the details stop him. The brave 17-year-old – who is mainly is a Content Producer, Technical Producer and Radio presenter  has a Diploma in Comprehensive Writing from College SA.

Four years ago, Mbili lost both his legs due to a bacterial infection, leaving the Diepsloot youngster in a wheelchair. His life had been turned upside down and he battled to adjust.

Mbili who was once a wheelchair-bound, double-amputee from Diepsloot struggled to commute to school, as most taxis would refuse to pick him up, but with the help of non-profit organisations One School at a Time and the Jumping Kids Foundation, Mbili was fitted with prosthetic legs.

After spending long periods in rehabilitation, he learnt to walk again and with a litte more work began to run on his new legs.

Sandile Mbili made history at the Comrades Marathon this year by becoming the first teenage double-amputee to run a portion of the gruelling route. He also raised awareness and funds to help others like him get legs from Jumping Kids.
