A team of athletes from the Khanya Lesedi School of Specialisation in Ratanda participated in the OR Tambo Games on October 28 and 29.

Six of these athletes who represented the Sedibeng Athletics Federation were selected for an international event in 2024 in Italy.
Zinhele Khubeke (100m/200m), Noloazi Shelembe (100m/200m), Nelly Khubeka (300m relay), Zandile Sibande (200m hurdles), Lerato Tsotetsi 100m/200m) and Lindani Mlangeni (1500m/3 000m) all qualified for the event.
Khanya Lesedi School of Spesialisation was the only school in the Heidelberg area to take part in the athletics event.
“I am proud of the athletes and the way they performed,” said Emmanual Nkabinde, coordinator at Khanya Lesidi SOS.
