Coach Takudzwa ‘TK’ Muzadzi (31) from Zimbabwe, a beloved coach at Busy Ballers, was sadly mugged at gunpoint while in Sunningdale, Blouberg, on 29 August 2022.
Hearing the news, Catherine Du Plooy, BackaBuddy COO, and Founder of charity e-commerce site, Gift Horse (launching soon), set up a crowdfunding campaign on BackaBuddy with a humble target of R5000.
“TK was understandably quite upset and shaken up by the whole incident. And I knew I had to do something to help him. It’s so unfortunate that crimes like these continue to take place in our beautiful country.” – says Catherine
To Catherine’s surprise, the campaign to help replace TK’s wallet, his bag and a few personal items he lost as a result of the jarring incident, exceeded its target, raising R5937 in less than 24-hours!
“Watching the barometer spillover really warmed my heart. I am happy that TK knows that his community is here for him and that we love him dearly!” says Catherine

“My son, Daniel and nephews Jamie and Cristian joined Busy Ballers more than 3 years ago. To say that the boys love Busy Ballers and the wonderful TK would be an understatement! He manages to include everyone in the class and his method of coaching is soft yet respectful. How he gets all the kids to listen is beyond me!” -says Catherine
