What a standout achievement for Olivia Geldart! 🌟🏊‍♀️

At just 12 years old and competing at her very first SA Schools Championships, Olivia has walked away with one of the most prestigious accolades, the award for highest FINA points in the junior girls category.

This recognition speaks volumes about her exceptional talent, performance level, and potential on the national stage. To deliver such excellence at a debut championship is nothing short of remarkable.

A star in the making and certainly one to watch for the future of South African swimming! 🇿🇦💙

The Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture started the Freedom Day commemoration with a Fun Run early this morning, bringing communities together to reflect on the long road to democracy, while collectively moving forward with purpose.

More than just a race, the event served as a powerful reminder that the freedoms we enjoy today were hard-won, and that building a better, more inclusive tomorrow requires active participation from all of us.

With every step taken, participants honoured the legacy of those who came before us, while reaffirming our shared commitment to unity, social cohesion and a healthier, more resilient society.

… It’s Day 3 of the Championships! The body has taken a knock. Exhaustion is setting in… it’s an early morning, and Cape Town greets us with gloomy skies.

But courage rises. Fire ignites. And champions push through.

This is where resilience is tested, where heart speaks louder than fatigue, and where true grit defines the moment. Team Eastern Cape steps up, not just to compete, but to conquer.
