Results for Team SA

We are so proud of our Youth and Junior Weightlifters. After many up’s and down’s we managed to send a team of 4 lifters to African Youth and Junior Champs in Casablanca, Morocco.

It was the lifters’ first ever international competition but with great guidance from Matthew Hurn (coach) and Puleng Makarube (team manager and International Technical Official) they all managed to perform to the best of their abilities.
