Lucky's passion for the game is giving local children a chance to develop their minds and discover new possibilities. After years of seeking government support to teach chess, Lucky’s dream remained out of reach. It wasn’t until a chance encounter with a stranger that his vision began to take shape. With some support, the Hlulabantu Chess Garden was created: a space where local kids gather to learn and play. Despite earning modestly, Lucky teaches chess for free, believing the game sharpens strategic thinking and can lead to a brighter future for his community. Through one man’s unwavering dedication, the simple game of chess is becoming a powerful tool for education and empowerment in an area where opportunities are few.
