The club has been prepping for the tournament at its new-found venue at Faranani Multipurpose Center, after going months without a training venue.
Prior to this they were using the outside premises of Tsakani Stadium for training since March this year.
However, coach Mpumelelo Mjoli said they are feeling confident.
“Though our wrestlers are still getting used to the environment we remain positive about the upcoming tournament.
“We have been working hard with dedication to prepare ourselves for this,” said Mjoli.
The club recently competed at the Shaun Bartlett competition in Brakpan where three of its members won medals.
