The 11-year-old qualified for the national champs by coming second in the 1200m event at the provincial championships in Durban.

Although she didn’t place at the nationals, the mere fact that she got to participate was a great accomplishment in itself. Sesikhona Primary is proud to have produced one of the best athletes in Ladysmith.

Well done, Wandiile, and keep up the good work on the track.
