As the crowd was going wild Mckenzie had a smile of joy and muscles of confident.
The Weightlifter Precious Mckenzie was a athletic ability that was first recognised at the age of 11.
He had a Catholic mission with father Franklin and coached and trained him in gymnastics.
Mckenzie went back to his mother in Pietermaritzburg at the age 17. Precious also worked at a nearby shoe factory.
In 1958 he won the national Bantamweight weightlifting title. But for some reason he wasn’t chosen for the olympic games because his skin colour. Precious started training and competing other countries.
Joshua Iosefo, a perfect at Mt Roskill Grammar, had to deliver a speech to the school. Instead of a speech he wrote a poem titled “Brown Brother” Rashad post in an youtube where it care to the attention to campbell live, who presented on national television.
This poem was about people that believe in stereotypes. Joshua tells the school to don’t be afraid to change or don’t listen to stereotypes like limiting yourself. Joshua said not a change in skin tone or colour, but a change for one brown brother to another.
I felt really surprised because his poem is really good and nice. He talks about interesting stuff like skin tone stereotypes and more. We really appreciate his poem because it’s cool and fantastic.
