Although her team narrowly lost to Western Cape Coastal in the final, they secured a well-deserved silver medal. Khumo’s impressive performance didn’t go unnoticed, as she is the only player in her school to be selected to represent the Gauteng provincial netball team.
Her coaches witnessed her proving her talent and commitment to the weekly practice sessions, and they truly paid off. She made another debut at the first round of the Gauteng Trials on April 7 at Hoërskool Florida, making her mark as one of the best U14 players in the D12 district.
The netball community will be seeing a lot of this talented player for many more years, as she is destined for greatness.
