At the heart of Midrand Shotokan Karate (MSK) is development of youth sport.
Dalson Seanego from MSK said the tournament will focus on development.
“Development in sports is an issue that affects every corner of South Africa. Though the tournament was local, we had entries from other districts in Gauteng as well as provinces.
“It was an all styles tournament with no limitations in terms of who may enter the tournament.
“The MSK tournament has been on hold for many years and the need for the re-launch has been burning within athletes and officials.
“The community and youth need this event and the benefits and opportunities that it will come with.
“The 2024 event will be used as a yard stick to gauge improvement in future events,” he said.
The tournament was not to be missed and a challenge was set to all business and individuals in Thembisa and surroundings to partner with MSK to help grow karate.
