background
“The vision, dream and journey behind the founding of OCAL GLOBAL all
started with a burning desire and passion and my ultimate mission would be to
challenge a global believe system regarding disability. Going up Kilimanjaro as
project manager of a team of physically disabled athletes, including the world’s
first triple amputee made it as clear as daylight that THERE IS NO SUCH
THING AS DISABILITY!
Seeing them conquer things that made me, a perfectly abled person back down
and feel uncomfortable made me realise that WE ARE ALL in some way or
another disabled, be it emotionally, physically or mentally. It was at that precise
moment that the idea was born, I wanted to do all I could to prove to the world
and change the mind-set, THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS DISABILITY
ONLY DIFFERENTLY ABLED INDIVIDUALS!”

Mission & vision
Challenging assumptions means questioning the everyday things you take for granted.
“The best assumption to have is that any commonly held belief is wrong.”
At OCAL Global we focus on everyone’s unique ability to contribute, rather than a person’s perceived
limitations. By embracing differences, we help spark individuality — while challenging assumptions and
inspiring change, thereby creating greater value by focusing on people’s unique abilities.
To change the notion from one of disability to ability and encourage use of the phrase, Differently Abled
persons in place of people with disabilities. Our motive for using the phrase is to foster thoughts, feelings
and actions about disability in a more inclusive and positive way.
Our vision is to create individuals of integrity, accountability, transparency and creativity. We want to
redefine the functions of hands, heart and head of an individual by giving it creative direction and meaningful
dimension to life. We want to sublimate the human energy and crystallize the total human being.

OCAL 2016 - Journey for change
On the 28th April 2016, a team of 9 ordinary runners, 2 hand cyclists and an
amputee began a non-stop 24 hour, epic 10 day journey from CAPE TOWN to
PRETORIA, culminating in the WINGS FOR LIFE WORLD RUN on the 8th May
2016, the launch and first of OCAL GLOBAL’s annual initiatives.
This incredible challenge was not only to raise awareness but also funds to assist
2 individuals who have suffered spinal cord injuries and provide them with the
necessary resources and providing them each with a hand cycle and in so taking
them on board as the core team members of the 2017 journey.
By doing this we will not only be facilitating their recovery but also showing them
that they can still have a life filled with adventure and purpose even in their now
differently abled bodies.

#OCAL2017 - Route Recce
Together with our 2 beneficiaries Sandile Nathan Mkhize and Mduduzi Nhlebela we
plan to do the recce of the #OCAL2017 Journey For Change in August 2016. The
idea behind the recce is also to get their coach, Jeffery Yates (#OCAL2016 member),
a hand cyclist to mentor and reminisce about his experience of the journey and
share insights and in part his extensive knowledge, and they will get to see what lies
ahead in this incredible challenge. This will be the first time that they will get to try
out their new hand cycles and experience what it will be like as core members of the
#OCAL2017 Journey For Change.
We will be capturing these epic moments during the recce in order to create our
‘teazer’ to be aired at the #OCAL2017 Journey For Change Black Tie Gala event in
September, during which, we will be screening our #OCAL2016 Journey For Change
documentary, directed, filmed, edited and produced by critically acclaimed Paul Ward,
the announcement of the #OCAL2017 team and route reveal – all this being part of
the ‘ROAD TO #OCAL2017’.

that they can then be able to coach and mentor the 2019 team members.

sandile Nathan Mkhize - Hand cyclist
My life changed on the 26th January 2013. I was on my way to Witbank to have breakfast
with a couple of mates but I never reached my destination. I was involved in a freak
motorcycle accident where I lost control while taking a corner. I woke up days later and I
instantly knew my life would be different. I spent 2 and a half years between ICU, high care
and rehab facilities. I have had over 20 re-constructive surgeries and will probably need more.
My dream right now is to make South Africa accessible for wheelchair users, shed light on
spaces that are not accessible and to change the perception that differently abled individuals
are limited to the welfare and health care framework of society. Differently abled individuals
can do anything an abled bodied person can do, we only do it differently.
On top of my list is to be a motivational speaker and a life coach to help people realize that
their potential is truly limited only by their imagination. Determination and creativity can solve
any problem that life throws at us and I would like to be living proof of this.
It is very poetic when I say “I want to change the world”, but I truly mean this. The starting
point is changing one person’s life at a time.

Mduduzi Nhlebela - hand cyclist
39 years old Mduduzi Nhlebela matriculated in 1996, before obtaining a college National

school, where he did one year. Between 2006 and 2007, Nhlebela was employed at
Multichoice Africa and between 2012 and 2014 he worked for Outsurance.

tape. He has also organized a beauty pageant, amongst other things. Nhlebela currently
does freelance work in professional video & photography for clients like government and
Corporates.
