A terrible tragedy has befallen the Soweto Canoe and Recreation Club barely one month after it was recognised nationally for its efforts to promote the sport among Soweto children. A 16-year-old paddler, Luzuko Sidzumo, this week drowned when his canoe capsized on the Orlando Dam, police said on Thursday.

It’s almost sunset at Soweto’s Orlando Power Park Dam and the wind is blowing gently. Three boys, aged 13, emerge from a clump of trees in the park carrying two canoes on their heads. Yanga Mphalala, Sifiso Cebekhulu and Siseko Ntondini are members of the Soweto Canoe and Recreation Club, based at the dam.
