A group of up-and-coming development athletes from the Ugu region attended the KSA Development Championships and Women’s Cup held in Port Elizabeth from August 19 to 21.
These champs are aimed at emerging athletes, still with coloured belts, who haven’t yet reached the elite level.
The competition was held jointly with the KSA Women’s Cup to commemorate the Women’s Month and women in karate.
