Young netball player doing her school and community proud

A TALENTED 14-year-old netball player from Noupoort, Miché Absolom, has shown remarkable dedication and skill in her netball career and has been selected to represent the Northern Cape in Benoni.

This is after the Eureka Intermediate School pupil represented the circuit at the Winter Games in Upington recently as part of the Under-15 Northern Cape Provincial School Team.

A partnership between Noupoort Wind Farm and the Save the Noupoort Child initiative saw Miché receive various forms of support to enhance her performance and experience during the Winter Games.

The support provided included a full netball kit, as well as a monetary contribution towards her expenses in Upington.

Noupoort Wind Farm economic development manager Sandisiwe Mntonintshi said they recognise the importance of supporting young athletes and empowering them to achieve their dreams.

“This achievement is a testament to Miché’s hard work and passion for the sport and we are proud to be supporting her,” said Mntonintshi.

Miché vowed to give her all in the upcoming tournament and make her school and her community proud.

“My school and community holds a very special place in my heart as it is where my entire netball journey began, which is why I am determined to go out there and give my absolute best,” said Miché.

The netball co-ordinator at Eureka Intermediate School, HL Gous, expressed her deep appreciation for the sponsorship.

She added that the news of Miché’s selection to represent the circuit in the Winter Games in Upington came as a delightful surprise, bringing tears of joy and gratitude.

“We have the utmost confidence in Miché's abilities to bring pride not only to herself but also to her family, the school and her sponsors,” said Gous.
