MyPR: Durban Skaterboarder Khule Ngebane Making Noise In Barcelona:
Barcelona – Khule Ngubane is a skateboarder from Durban, South Africa. Originally from a poor neighborhood of the Zulu community, he has always followed a different path through the life-changing sport of skateboarding. Now he travels the world and inspires kids from his home country.
With skateboarding in the 2020 Olympic Games it has enjoyed a resurgence of sorts, that is set to increase as we get closer to the Games. Khule will be one of the South African skaters spearheading that resurgence. He was recently the subject of a mini-documentary and extensive media profile in Barcelona, where he inspired the Spanish skaters with his smooth style
The Westville resident has been a professional skater from the tender age of 15 and now, at the age of 25, makes it a decade as a pro. He is sponsored by DC, Element and Monster Energy and has represented the brands well in his travels that take him from Los Angeles to Europe. Khule’s roots in the extreme sport have humble beginings, from being the only kid exposed to skateboarding in Chesterville where he was raised. He is a popular skater, and well known for his relaxed approach, effortless style, and his big moves, always pushing it when he gets the opportunity. Khule spends his time between Durban, Cape Town and his frequent sojourns overseas.
“Skateboarding in South Africa is very much alive, and now that skateboarding is part of the Olympic games it’s actually an interesting time,” said Khule while in Barcelona. ”There is more investment coming in, they are already building new skateparks in bigger cities like Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg. And Kimberley is a smaller town with one of the best skateparks right now. So, it’s evolving and it’s growing!”

Quick Cape Town Fact: Since it was first colonised in 1652, Cape Town was tossed back and forth between two of the greatest colonial powers of the time, the British and the Dutch. The Dutch were in charge for the first century and a half after colonisation. Britain took over in 1795, only to lose the colony to the Dutch in 1803. Another three years passed before the Cape was back in British hands, where it stayed for the next century and a bit. Finally, in the early 1900s, South Africa was granted independence, but it was another 90 years before the first democratic elections took place.
