His moniker may be "Nightmare", but local wrestler Daryl Naidu has big dreams.
With the help of his brother, Shaun, and Chatsworth Youth Centre coordinator Clive Pillay and some international wrestlers, Naidu, 26, has created the Anything is possible campaign.
Despite his wrestling persona's frightful attitude, Naidu wants to empower young, underprivileged children through his programme.
"Being a celebrity or famous in South Africa isn't everything. I get a great deal of happiness from dealing with kids," said Naidu.
His attempt last week to bring "the world to Chatsworth" involved World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) stars Justin Gabriel and Natalya sharing their stories of triumph with 400 young wrestling fanatics.
The WWE superstars are touring with Big Concerts but Naidu wanted to give those who could not afford a ticket the chance to see their heroes.
Capetonian Gabriel, who performs in SmackDown and is part of the Nexus wrestling group , spoke to youngsters about his struggles on the streets of Cape Town before he eventually made it in international wrestling.
Natalya, the niece of wrestling legend Bret Hart, spoke about her experiences as the first woman to take up wrestling in her family.
"When Justin and Natalya walked in, the roof almost blew off. I was so shocked by the children, some of them were crying tears of joy," said Naidu.
"The amazing messages these two stars gave them touched my heart and I had to hold back my tears."
Naidu rose in popularity in 2007 after he was selected to undergo specialised training in the US. He later garnered recognition in World Wrestling Professionals, a South African version of the popular US show.
He has initiated a free wrestling club at the Chatsworth Youth Centre .
"When I was growing up and wanted to become a wrestler, I had no one to show me the ropes. This is my way of giving to today's youth."
Naidu will be heading off to the US for training again next year. But he said his campaign to help the South African youth will not end when he goes.
