Tembisa South SAPS officers emerged victorious in a chess game.
The two officers were among 100 SAPS members who participated in a Provincial SAPS chess competition hosted in Gauteng.
Captain Neldah Sekgobela said all nine provinces, including the national head office, were represented in the games that took place from October 6 to 14.
“The Gauteng SAPS chess team won gold medals and a floating trophy after obtaining first place, while Detective Sergeant Lesiba Phahlane and Captain Elizabeth Vilakazi also managed to win bronze medals each, after playing for the individual event,” said Captain Sekgobela.
Capt Sekgobela said the duo qualified for the SAPS National Chess Team to participate in the 2017 South African Regional Police Chiefs Corporation Organisation (SARPCCO) games to be hosted by Lesotho.
The Tembisa South SAPS station commander Colonel Dorah Morebodi congratulated her members for their good performance and encouraged them to proceed with the good work they are doing.
