New constitution for KwaThema Martial Arts
KwaThema - After having officially established the KwaThema Martial Arts in 2012, the interim committee says their constitution is finally complete.
Shihan Michael Cindi, committee chairman, says when this structure was started, they wanted karate clubs from around KwaThema to be part of an association.
And from there this committee was formed and tasked by the veterans of martial arts in KwaThema, to build a constitution for the association.
This committee included shihan Edward Mtshali, sensei Botha Keletsane, sensei David More, sensei Elliot Sinqo, sensei Thabang Keletsane and shihan Michael Cindi.
“We cater for all styles of karate hence this is martial arts and not just karate.
