LYDENBURG – The world-record goalscorer in hockey, Pietie Coetzee recently visited Lydenburg to show upcoming hockey stars at Hoërskool Lydenburg the finer ropes on how to become a professional player.
Coetzee who was born on September 2, 1978 in Bloemfontein attended the Rand Afrikaans University (RAU) in Johannesburg to continue her hockey career. She later represented South Africa in the 2000 as well as 2004 Summer Olympics. Coetzee, who was assisted by Tanith Drake and Tsoanelo Pholo, also a SA player, left the 125 learners in awe with her skills, especially her drag flick which is arguably one of the fastest in the world.
Hoërskool Lydenburg has already booked Coetzee for next year and plans to invite other schools as well. Keep an eye out for the next Sleutelgat edition on June, 6 for a full interview with the star.
