What started as his brother’s passion gradually grew into something special for Pamidzani Madzulukwa as he grew up in the diamond-mining town of Orapa. During that period, he was a student at Orapa Junior Secondary School, whilst his brother, Tiro, was already playing softball.

“My brother was already a player, so he would always bring a glove and a ball for us to play catch. He introduced me to the sport. Little did he know that he was engraving something in me that would become my lifetime job, one that would change my life forever,” Madzulukwa told MmegiSport upon his return from Canada, where he plays for JDT First Energy.

Born on August 13, 1999, Madzulukwa started playing competitive softball when he was doing Form Two at Makgadikgadi Junior Secondary School in Mosu village, in the Boteti District. He said his first game brought a mixture of fear and excitement, but it was a moment he cherished and never took for granted.
