From bedridden granny to dancing queen
Cathrine Mathebe went from being bedbound to leading a squad of dancing pensioners.
A few years ago Cathrine Mathebe was overweight, unwell and unable to walk without assistance. Today she is the founder of Bophelong Fitness Club in the township of Tembisa, South Africa, where she leads hundreds of women in a dancing-aerobics class. Outlook's Nomsa Maseko got her tutu on and went to join in one of Cathrine's workouts.
