Sport – The best of this weekend’s action
Why not tune in to the Paralympics this weekend to see more of our athletes rake in the medals?
The 2016 Rio Olympics might be over for able bodied athletes but now is the time for South Africa’s Paralympians to shine.
Kevin Paul won South Africa’s first medal at the 2016 Rio Paralympics. He took gold in the men’s 100 metre breaststroke. Why not tune in to the Paralympics this weekend to see more of our athletes rake in the medals?
