Neftaly Supporting Dual-Career Athletes
Neftaly, the Southern Africa Youth Project, is committed to empowering youth across Southern Africa through various initiatives aimed at reducing youth unemployment and poverty. Established in 2005 by Neftaly Malatjie, Neftaly operates with the mission of providing skills development, education, and economic opportunities to young individuals. The organization has a strong presence in South Africa, with regional offices in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pietermaritzburg, and Diepsloot.
