Klerksdorp Record, Potchefstroom - The NWU’s Potchefstroom Campus recently announced its Sportswoman and Sportsman of the Year.
One has adorned billboards from Cape Town to Potchefstroom Campus, the other is a bit more inconspicuous. But, there is no denying the impacts made Elmeré van den Berg and Jarred Elliot in their respective sporting codes of netball and badminton during 2023.
They were also rightly honoured as the NWU Potchefstroom Campus’ Sportswoman and Sportsman of the Year. The lanky Elmeré reached for spectacular heights in her young career by representing the Proteas during the locally held World Cup in addition to excelling in the Spar Protea Diamond Challenge and the Netball Quad Series.
Bokke te sterk vir Tonga
Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Die kragmeting tussen die Springbokke en Tonga die afgelope naweek was ‘n swaargewigstryd.
Tonga het in die skrums swaar gesteun op Ben Tameifuna se volle 150kg wat hom nie gekeer het om ‘n drie te druk nie. SA het egter net te veel skietgoed gehad om Tonga se voorspelers te beperk en die SA-agterlyn net te veel spoed.
