Meet the cuber at African Champs Osman Badroodin! @osmanbadroodin15 (22) from Centurion, Pretoria.

➡️ How long have you been cubing, and how did you get into cubing?
- I’ve known how to solve a cube since 2018 but I started speedcubing in 2019 , the way I got into cubing was this , I saw an unsolved cube in a crazystore so I bought it and solved it and was instantly hooked

➡️ What is your favourite event and why?
- Its between Sq1 , 5x5 and 3x3 One Handed , Sq1 because its my highest ranked event and the event I have records in , 5x5 because its an event that is longer and very enjoyable to do , and 3x3 One Handed because its similar to normal 3x3 but a bit of an extra challenge and alot more fun

➡️ What do you feel is your biggest cubing achievement so far?
- Probably my Sq1 Records and my 2022 Sq1 African Championships Title

➡️ What would be your bucket list cubing event to go to?
- I would love to go to a world championships , preferably one in Europe

➡️ Describe your first cubing competition
- I was very excited and instantly had good connections with everyone there and I remember being amazed by Ruben’s 44 second 4x4 solve and Taariq’s sq1 solves

➡️ What do you do outside of cubing?
- I love playing 8 Ball Pool and even used to own my own pool table , I also love painting , watching movies and especially hanging out with my best friend Gerald

➡️ Give us an interesting, non cubing related, fact about yourself
- Aside from cubing competitions I also have trophies/medals/podiums in other events such Mathematics , Chess and Engineering competitions

Thank you Osman!

Keep an eye out for the next cuber introduction coming soon!

Meet the cuber at African Champs Isaac Scheepers!

Meet the cuber at African Champs Isaac Scheepers! @isaac_scheepers (16) from Gauteng.

➡️ How long have you been cubing, and how did you get into cubing?
- I have been cubing for almost 4 years now, and started in the middle of lockdown. I learned how to solve a 2x2 that I was always playing around with but never could solve it, eventually it broke and I made a challenge with my parents. If I learned how to solve a 3x3 under 3 minutes I could get a bundle of new cubes. And 2nd try of timing myself I got the cubes and started speedcubing

➡️ What is your favourite event and why?
- I have 3 favourite events and would do any of them anytime. 3x3, 5x5, and then Square-1! I just love doing solves with them

➡️ What do you feel is your biggest cubing achievement so far?
- I have two that I am very proud of and thankful for. Definitely going to Worlds 2023 Korea with my good friend Daniel Rush. 2nd would also be getting my AfR 2 solve for 3x3 single of 6.19.

➡️ What would be your bucket list cubing event to go to?
- Most likely Worlds 2025 in Seattle. A lot of my international friends are planning to go, and I really want to see them again.

➡️ Describe your first cubing competition
- Mine was about 2 years ago now in 2022, it was the first cubing comp in Cape Town since lockdown. And I just loved judging and meeting a lot of cubers. Some really good times for my first comp which I was really happy about!

➡️ What do you do outside of cubing?
- I do a lot of sport, such as Baseball and softball. Im even a “serious” gamer sometimes!

➡️ Give us an interesting, non cubing related, fact about yourself
- Before cubing became my main hobby, I was very into beatboxing and still mostly am! I still try and keep up with the community.

Thank you Isaac!

Meet the cuber at African Champs Emmanuel Hawkins!

Meet the cuber at African Champs Emmanuel Hawkins! @hesacuber (23) from Nigeria.

➡️ How long have you been cubing, and how did you get into cubing?
- I’ve been cubing for about 8 years now. My first encounter with the cube was back in 2015 when a friend would bring his cube to class. We learnt to solve it then, but then he stopped bringing his cube to school and I forgot all about it. The real obsession however only started a year later when I tried to race someone after not practicing for a year. Obviously I lost, but because of that I saved up for my first cube, started watching YouTube videos to get faster, and that was it.

➡️ What is your favourite event and why?
- The OG 3x3. I only did 3x3 for the first 4-5 years of cubing, so yeah.

➡️ What do you feel is your biggest cubing achievement so far?
- Probably winning the Nigerian Championship in 2022. My cubing YouTube channel as well, if that counts

➡️ What would be your bucket list cubing event to go to?
- Definitely any world champs. That’d be sick

➡️ Describe your first cubing competition
- Lagos open 2022. That was a fun one cos I met many of my cubing friends for the first time IRL. it really felt good to see a bunch of people who enjoy the same thing you do. Also came out with some great results despite it being my first comp

➡️ What do you do outside of cubing?
- I exist :) I also do filmmaking and media. I enjoy playing the piano as well.

➡️ Give us an interesting, non cubing related, fact about yourself
- I can juggle 5 balls

Thank you Emmanuel!

Keep an eye out for the next cuber introduction coming soon!
