“The NWU strives to provide opportunities for athletes and students in sports and, hopefully, through endeavours like this, we can retain talent and provide world-class opportunities, catering for the needs of our youth and top sports stars in this country.
We thank TSA for their confidence in our ability to host, and to Helene Botha and Riaan Venter, who will be managing this event on behalf of the NWU,” stated Sheldon Rostron in a press release.
