Fezile is known to friends as Fezile, ugcwabaza. As a young boy he fell in love with sports, in particular rugby and athletics.

Fezile’s most well-known break into the entertainment industry was the Ricoffy advert he featured in followed by becoming a Channel O regular as a VJ. He has since acted in numerous television shows including the e.tv soapie Backstage, the crime series Jozi Streets, cameo roles on SABC1's Generations and Gaz'lam, and the leading role of Sbu on the SABC1 soccer drama series Zone 14. In 2006 he was chosen as an SABC1 brand ambassador after a nationwide search to find six new presenters. He competed in the "Multilingual" category, and began working as a continuity presenter on 1 July, 2006. In June 2008, he co-hosted the SABC1 magazine show Countdown 2010, which aimed to keep South Africans informed and involved in the preparation for the largest sports event ever held on the African continent - the 2010 Soccer World Cup. Fezile currently presents rugby on SuperSports.
Reach For A Dream believes in the power of dreams. We encourage children to use theirdreams to fight life-threatening illnesses and in having their dream fulfilled find hope again. Working throughout South Africa in 2010 we reached close to 30,000 children. In 365 days we fulfilled over 1,400 dreams, delivered 31 Captain Courage’s for 465 of our brave boys, 32 Queen For a Days for 480 of our precious girls, we organized 290 outings for 8031 children varying from movie days, soccer world cup activities, trips to the zoo and more where finally, we had 21 Camp Sunshine’s for 840 of our children. Our Jabulani clowns made 18,400 children laugh in hospitals around the country. For 23 years the Reach For A Dream Foundation, has brought hope, joy and healing to South African children. These children between the ages of 3 and 18 years have used their dreams to fight life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, kidney failure and blood disorders. We do not discriminate based on race, culture, financial status or any other factor. Each child living with a life-threatening illness is given a chance to dream. Reach For A Dream believes that no child should live without hope. Childhood can be the most magical phase of the human existence yet for children diagnosed as having a life-threatening illness, the magic of childhood may be lost in the emotional, physical and financial strain of dealing with their illness. Their childhoods stripped away for them with the maturity living with a life threatening illness demands. Reach For A Dream tries to alleviate some of this strain (often affecting the whole family), by creating a different environment for the child – one that is not focused on her/ his illness. We would like our children to find their laughter again and therein find the strength to live beyond their illnesses.

There are countless children and their families in South Africa who are strained emotionally, physically and financially by these life-threatening illnesses. Very little is being done for them. Reach For A Dream seeks to alleviate the strain that a life-threatening illness takes on these children and their families by providing the children with the opportunity to realise their dream. Reach For A Dream enriches children's lives by making dreams come true and as a result, distracting them from the needles, medication and hospital environment. These young children are under extreme pressure to deal with these medical issues and are in desperate need of our encouragement.
