A learner from Sovetjheza Secondary School in Siyabuswa, Nkangala District in Mpumalanga province will be representing South Africa’s National Volleyball team in Malawi.
Sarah Karabo Mnguni is set to represent the country in December 2022. Mnguni started playing volleyball at a young age.
“She started playing at a tender age and participated in the Volleyball League Games at the age of 13,” the Department of Education in Mpumalanga said.
Mnguni was subsequently selected to play for the Mpumalanga under 15 Team.
“Through her hard work, she was selected to play in tournaments which were staged in Mozambique, Lesotho and this year’s selection became a cherry on top for her.”
The Department said that Mnguni is an inspiration to young girls.
“She is truly an inspiration to other young girls who are from humble beginnings seeking an opportunity to make a name for themselves in sports.”
The Department took to its Facebook page to congratulate her and to wish her well in the tournament in Malawi.
“You Go Girl, the sky is the limit,” said the Department.
