“We had about 86 participants from the ages of 6 years old to 58 who are karate lovers being promoted to getting different belts, from white all the way to brown.
“There were also two of our oldest members who were part of the celebrations, William Ndlovu from Tsakane and Lillian Dube from Katlehong, who in addition to obtaining their new belts were presented with certificates for being part of the sport and a being a great example to the younger generation that you are never to old to do something that you love,” adds Ngubane.
He congratulated all the young and old, especially the 23 members of his club who participated in the day’s event and who managed to get to the next level in their karate path.
