TZANEEN – Moses Mohale from Nkowankowa is currently in India as a manager of the South African kho-kho team competing in the sport’s World Cup.

The tournament started on January 13 and will conclude on Tuesday, January 20. Kho-kho is an Indian game of tag played with two teams of 12 people.

It is the second-most popular traditional tag game in the Indian subcontinent after kabaddi.

It is played on a rectangular court with a central lane connecting two poles which are at either end of the court.

During the game, nine players from the chasing team (attacking team) are on the field, with eight of them sitting (crouched) in the central lane, while three runners from the defending team run around the court and try to avoid being touched.

Each sitting player on the chasing team faces the opposite half of the field that their adjacent teammates are facing.
