For Thabiso Ngwenya (15), George Ntlatlane (15) and Xolanie Mpete (7), the 12th May 2008 will be a day they will truly never forget. The trio of kids came to the Chiefs Village as part of the reach for a dream programme and got to watch the Chiefs team training, and were thereafter handed gifts by the Chiefs players, made available to them by reach for a dream.

All three have life threatening conditions despite this they smiled and made the most of the time that was given to them to be away from their care givers, and were revelling in the sun shine mixing with The Amakhosi.
