Südafrika Boxende Omas – 77 year-old Gladys Ngwenya (L) winces as she chews on a piece of ginger before a “Boxing Gogos” (Grannies) session hosted by the A Team Gym in Cosmo City in Johannesburg on September 19, 2017.

Former bodybuilder and fitness instructor Claude Maphosa pulls no punches when it comes to uplifting his community.
