During Ntobeko’s time working in curriculum development, hefound a colleague and brother - Thobani Khumalo. Playing forPeace staff members hold these two in the same honorary light forthe impact they achieved through their curriculum creation anddelivery. Ntobeko credits Thobani with “teaching me how to developa curriculum.” Thobani credits Ntobeko with “asking the necessaryquestions that no one else thinks about and thinking strategicallyabout the direction of the organisation.” They were a dynamic duothat knew how to lead with pure genuineness. If you talked to eitherone, you wouldn't be able to tell who was the teacher and who wasthe student. They both played these roles at different stages.Thobani and Ntobeko are prime examples of ideas implementedon paper to positively impact the thought process of thousands ofPlaying for Peace participants, across the generations. They builtsomething special from the foundation of who they are as people.They are both master teachers and master learners who have earsof empathy and understanding and voices of honesty and solutions.They are legends in their own right as it relates to curriculumdevelopment (Thobani) and THE core life skills curriculum (Ntobeko).Playing for Peace would not be where it is today without them, andthe PeacePlayers community should always look to them as a sourceof light.Bryan Franklin, Fellow on Ntobeko Ngcamu: “Ntobeko was sodistinctly himself and he was an invaluable contributor to theprogramme. Ntobeko and Thobani brought fullness of themselves towhatever space they were in. No matter what was happening in hislife, he always showed up and treated whoever he was with like theywere the most important person in the world.”48PEACEPLAYERS SOUTH AFRICA STORYBOOK
