MIDVAAL.- The Midvaal Local Municipality (MLM) recently extended its heartfelt well-wishes to our three athletes from the area.
The trio, Shaun Van Vyk, Kuhle Gilli, and Jeffrey Ells embarked on their journey to Italy to compete in the prestigious 7th Edition of the Giochi del Tricolore (Tricolour Games). The games were established in 1997, bringing together athletes from various backgrounds to foster social, educational, and intercultural opportunities for the youth.
The international games feature young athletes who participate in various sporting codes such as athletics, swimming, basketball, chess, football, and rugby. The three Midvaal athletes will form part of a team of 131 young athletes (under 16 years) from across Gauteng.
Shaun Van Wyk from Dr. Malan Hoerskool will be participating in rugby, Kuhle Gilli from New Hope Secondary School will demonstrate her skills in football, and Jeffrey Ells, also from Dr. Malan Hoerskool, will take part in the Chess tournament.
The team departed from OR Tambo International Airport on Saturday, 22 July.
