KZN BMX DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Together with the assistance of KZN Sports and Recreation, and the various BMX Clubs, KwaZulu Natal has a thriving and robust development program. The athletes who move through the various programs are coached and funds provided by the KZN BMX Commission via support from KZN Sports and Recreation and internal club funding. As a body we believe that by developing talent from various communities can result in the growth and nurturing of future stars.
One such star is our very own Manqoba Madida who hails from the local township located near Giba, with the assistance of KZN Sports and Rec, KZN BMX and other local business and backers be was able to attend the 2017 UCI Youth Training Clinic as well as representing our country in the UCI BMX World Championships. In 2018 he will once again make the journey to Switzerland for some high performance catching before heading to World Championships yet again.

Our development program is yielding wonderful results, in both the girls and boys age groups, and young Anele Ndlovu and Tyler Thompson from PMB are most definitely riders to watch in the future. Tyler Thompson, who blasted his way to SA 1 in the hotly contested gate of 11/12 Expert will be attending his first World Championships this year.
