The regional finals were held on August 22, at Laerskool Sonlandpark in Vereeniging, where schools from Sedibeng East, Sedibeng West and Gauteng West competed for a place in the provincial championships.

Representing the Sedibeng East District in their respective categories, Ratanda Bertha Gxowa U/13 Girls and Khanya Lesedi Sports School of Specialisation delivered strong performances to win their categories.
