Local athletics club brings home six medals
With determination in their hearts and dreams in their stride, local runners rise — bringing home six medals and a message of hope for the future.
Kwa-Thema – Langaville Athletics Club has a new home at Kwa-Thema Stadium.
The club recently came back with six medals from the third league of the CGA’s 2025 cross-country season at the Dobsonville Multi-Purpose Centre.
Among the stars, Zanele Mzizi won gold in the 3km for the U14 girls.
“The stadium is better situated for our training. The facility we used before did not have tracks. This was an issue because when we go to compete at different stadiums our runners would not know how to stay on course.

“Now they will train within the lines, and I believe that we will get better results when we compete,” explained coach and founder Sakhi Kgapola.
Kgapola admitted that the stadium could be in better condition.
“We have some challenges with overgrown grass and there are no lines on the track. We hope that the facility will be refurbished to the best standard, in order to give the athletes the best chance at winning,” he added.
The club will participate in the fourth league of the CGA 2025 cross-country season at Marivate Park, Daveyton on the June 28.
