Lim South champs in inter-provincial wheelchair tennis

Limpopo South are the new Wheelchair Tennis Inter-Provincial Tournament champions following a highly entertaining 2-1 victory over Limpopo North as the 2019 event recently came to a thrilling conclusion at Arthur Ashe Tennis Centre in Soweto.
Wheelchair Tennis South Africa (WTSA) Public Relations Manager Anthony Moruthane indicated in a press statement that the teams from the north of the province fought tooth and nail but it was the Limpopo South team of Danny Mohlamonyane, Luwie Mabelane, Sello Mayipa and Joseph Manzini who emerged as champions following their win in the doubles during the final match leaving Limpopo North with the second overall position.
“The team’s progress is in no small part due to the contribution of the country’s number three quad ace Mohlamonyane and great efforts from promising player Mabelane. This is a huge milestone as the team finished in 14th position in 2018,” Moruthane said.
Gauteng North’s wheelchair tennis team of Aobakwe Makgotho, Lerato Mathose, Brilliant Mabaso and Harry Mogodi took home the bronze medal.
The event saw more than 45 players making up 12 teams and representing eight provinces of the country battle it out in the tournament Moruthane conclued.
