SAFRICA-HEALTH-POLITICS-MANDELA-BOXING
Shakes Tshabalala (L) and Benjamin Donaldson are photographed through a mirror on July 3, 2013 in the gym of the Donaldson Orlando Community Centre (aka Soweto YMCA) in the East Orlando, Soweto. In a sweaty township gym where former South African President Nelson Mandela once trained as a young boxer, athletes are still pumping iron today, inspired by the peace icon's example as he fights for his life in hospital. Tshabalala, 81, has been attending the centre since its opening and used to attend the gym with Mandela and is now serving as a board member. Benjamin Donaldson is the grandson of Colonel James Donaldson, a self-made entrepreneur and staunch supporter of the now governing African National Congress (ANC), who donated funds to build this Community Centre.
