Breaking local news in Boksburg
The SOWLE Centre’s Matthew van Heerden claimed a gold medal for Gauteng in the men’s T21 long jump during the South African Sports Association for the Intellectually Impaired national games at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane earlier this month.
The speedster led the charge for his school, with the group returning from the competition with nine medals, all achieved in track and field and futsal. Riley would achieve a PB in the discus with a throw of 10.13m, while Nondumiso Khumalo, who won gold in discus and javelin at the games last year, won a silver in the discus throw.
The centre’s sports journey started in 2018, with Van Heerden the only learner to qualify for the nationals. He won a gold medal in the shot put. Last year, Khumalo continued the school’s medal haul at the games with a pair of golds.
