Following Collingwood's two-and-a-half week high-altitude training camp in South Africa, a group of eleven players and two coaches stayed on to conduct the club's AFL Telstra community camp in Cape Town.

On the second day of the camp, the players visited a school then held a draft camp and clinic.

First stop on day two was the Sithembele Matiso High School to present the school with a certificate honouring one of its students, honouring the achievement of Simphiwe Tyolashe, a student who had been selected to represent the South African national AFL team.
