The newly refurbished Diepkloof Zone 1 tennis court is proving how much residents missed sports. The facility is already hosting tournaments and the past long weekend saw the action-packed Ruff Ryder Netball Tournament kicking off at the facility.

The three-day tournament kicked off on Heritage Day, September 24 with the finals being played on Saturday, September 26. Founded by Mojalefa Xaba, Thanyana Ratshirumela, and Scornish, the tournament’s purpose was to unearth local talent, at the same time bringing back the vibe previously stolen by the Corona Virus and its lockdown restrictions for the past months.
