MY STORY
Amani Kinyua, 15, taught himself to race in rental karts during South Africa's COVID lockdown — and hasn't stopped winning since. A dual citizen of Kenya and South Africa, he joined a structured team and racked up 20+ wins and podiums between 2022 and 2025. That run earned him the Green Protea Jacket, South Africa's national honor for official representation in professional sport.
