In most cases when we talk about social club most people thing about money contributions towards one acoount.<\/p>\n

This type of organisations are popular among Mzansi communities across the country.<\/p>\n

Master T GYM is local club based in Diepkloof zone4, Soweto and it has been operating for the past 14 years so far,<\/p>\n

But unlike most this one provide services to community members most struggling with weight or want to explore Mzansi by hiking bootcamps and so on, by so doing. the trainers make extra cash for themselves.<\/p>\n

\"\"
A home for social and health benefits<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Speaking to the founder Tshepo Mpokane said,”I started the club alone with an aim of reducing my own weight as I was gaining more kilos.<\/p>\n

And later one few friends came to join me for same reason, and later more community member came to join us and this is how we then started operating differently, by adding such service like training individuals st their home.<\/p>\n

Though at the begging it was all for free for members of the community members services at Police stations where we also trained members of Community Police Forum were free, with SANCA we also went to help at schools for free. But hiking personal training and bootcamp some cash has to be paid so our trainers can earn a living, \u201che said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today Master T provide members also provide services at events community events at Nightclubs and security services.<\/p>\n

The club also organise bootcamps and hiking and by so doing they too generate income for themselves.<\/p>\n

Tshepo said,” we started with ten males but today we have more which include women who also help train other females and make some income .<\/p>\n

And so far we still looking for sponsorship last time we got help from as sunceda a Tv channel associated with Daily sun newspaper.”<\/p>\n
