One of the match facilitators, Matumelo Tjabadi explained that these games were aimed at selecting a team which would represent KwaThema in some upcoming tournaments.

“On June 25 we will have a netball tournament, which is why we are selecting girls who will represent us as KwaThema.

“This is part of a build-up to that tournament and we are pleased with the level of skill these girls have shown.

“Normally the teams play friendly games but want to form a structure where teams from Tsakane, Duduza and KwaThema can compete against each other, as we find that around Kwatsaduza the young people are there, but there’s a lack of sponsors and community support,” she said.
