Thato Mpati was a key contributor to Northern Meridian Academy winning the national title in the 2024 Kay Motsepe Schools Championship.
The South Africa u20 men’s national team, known as Amajita, is currently in camp preparing for the forthcoming 2025 u20 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), which takes place in April in Côte d’Ivoire.
Before the tournament’s kickoff, Amajita, as part of their preparations, takes on Botswana in two friendly international matches on 22 and 25 March.
Among the players to have been called up is Meridian Northern Academy’s Thato Mpati. The grade 12 learner represents the Kay Motsepe Schools Championship winners and also showcases his talents for Magesi FC in the DStv Diski Challenge.
Those close to him describe Mpati as a natural-born leader with exceptional talent. He has been an important part of Meridian Northern Academy’s success in recent years and was a key player in the team that won the Kay Motsepe Schools Championshipin 2024.
The final of the Kay Motsepe Schools’ Championship, where Meridian Northern Academy was crowned the national champion after defeating Eletsa Secondary, from the North West Province, 2-1 in the title clash, was played in Rustenburg.
Mpati earned the title of top goalscorer in the tournament, while his teammate Bokang Thaba was named the player of the tournament. Additionally, their coach, Hendrick Mukwevho, received the accolade of the coach of the tournament, which highlighted and underlined the dominance of the Meridian Northern Academy team.
Mpati’s selection for the u20 national team is a testament to his hard work and the strong football development programme at Meridian Northern Academy, which continues to produce top players.
After learning about his selection for Amajita, the Meridian Northern Academy team congratulated Mpati on the achievement and wished him success as he took a significant step forward in his football career.
The South Africa u20 team began training sessions for the Afcon tournament on Wednesday, 19 February.

The excitement about the forthcoming school football season is building, and, on Tuesday, it turned up a notch when the fourth edition of the Absa Wildeklawer Soccer Tournament was officially launched at Kimberley Boys’ High School.
During the launch, which was broadcast live on the SuperSport Schools App, the teams which have qualified for the event learnt who they would face in their groups. The tournament takes place from 30 April to 3 May.
Tasville Cloete, the Regional Executive Head for the Absa Group in the Northern Cape, attended the draw, where he lauded the successful partnership between Absa and Wildeklawer and highlighted the positive impact it has on the Kimberley community.
“With Absa and Wildeklawer, it is a relationship that we value. It’s a relationship that we see value in, not only just for the community in Kimberley but overall. What Absa and Wildeklawer have put together over the past years has brought us a lot of success in the area,” he said.
“We value Wildeklawer as a client, but we also value the tournament and the sponsorship that we put together over the last couple of years.
Cloete said the tournament injects millions of rands into the local economy annually. “This tournament is so big that people cannot find accommodation in the Northern Cape. People travel across the country just to find accommodation. We value this and we see that this is a relationship that we would like to see grow in the future,” he concluded.

Last year, Clapham High School, one of South Africa’s premier football institutions, produced a remarkable season, which included winning the Absa Wildeklawer Soccer Tournament and the inaugural Iber Cup South Africa.
Their performances demonstrated their prowess and affirmed their status a key contributor to the development of football in South Africa.
In last year’s Absa Wildeklawer final, Clapham faced Grey College, coached by Monde Hlashwayo, who holds a CAF A Licence. Clapham beat Grey College 2-1 in the title game. Their victory ended HTS Louis Botha‘s attempt at a third consecutive win in the competition.
In 2025, Clapham will aim to emulate the Bloemfontein school by going back-to-back as the champion of the Absa Wiledklawer Soccer Tournament.

During a visit to South Africa last week, the Ron Clark Academy spent time with the Soweto Basketball Academy, one of the nation’s most successful development basketball clubs.
The Ron Clark Academy was co-founded by Ron Clark and Kim Bearden in the autumn of 2007 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Clark is a renowned educator, speaker, television personality, and a New York Times bestselling author for his book, “The Essential 55“. He is celebrated for his innovative teaching strategies and dynamic approach.
Bearden is also an educator and author, who frequently shares her passion for teaching. Her teaching career has spanned four decades and she continues to serve as both a teacher and the executive director of the academy.
The Ron Clark Academy has a mission of revolutionising classrooms globally by showcasing transformative methods and techniques that can be adopted and replicated.

Those achievements underlined the Soweto Basketball Academy’s remarkable successes in girls’ basketball, which included ending 2024 as the most successful basketball club in the country after winning nearly every available title, including the Jr. NBA title in Johannesburg.
The founder of the Soweto Basketball Academy, Monwabisi Dlamini said it was an exceptional experience to exchange ideas with the Ron Clark Academy, which he regards as one of the top schools in the United States. He said the day spent with the American visitors not only benefitted the Soweto Basketball Academy, but it also benefitted the community of Soweto.
He characterised the day as a cultural exchange among the children, who engaged in basketball and various other activities.
“It was an enjoyable day for the youth, providing a valuable opportunity for mutual learning while participating in a range of exciting events both on and off the basketball court,” he said.
The Ron Clark Academy also visited the Lesedi Cultural Village, where they explored the local culture and participated in various cultural activities. The heritage-themed eco-lodge is situated in the Cradle of Humankind, a World Heritage site nestled within the Magaliesberg hills, approximately 45 minutes from the central business district of Johannesburg, near Hartbeespoort Dam.

On Sunday, the National Basketball Association (NBA) held its first ever Her Time to Play Elite Camp – South Africaat the Klipspruit Sports Centre, in Soweto.
The event, which welcomed 30 young girls from Gauteng and the North West Province for a one-day camp, marked a groundbreaking initiative for the NBA.
The camp structure included a leadership session and a panel discussion featuring prominent women leaders from South Africa. The event was also organised to celebrate International Women’s Day, on 8 March. It encompassed basketball skills’ development, drills, and discussions on gender-based violence.
The campers engaged in various on-court skills development exercises, including ball handling, dribbling, and shooting, and then ended with competitive games.
Seven local female coaches led the camp, thereby enhancing the Jr. NBA initiative that aims to expand opportunities for both coaches and the youth.
Her Time to Play is focused on promoting basketball participation among female players, coaches, referees, mentors, and administrators, both on and off the court.
Liamisha Aboo, from Redhill School, was recognised as the camp’s Best Defensive Player, while Trishia Guilossa, from the Soweto Basketball Academy, received the title of Most Valuable Player.

During the panel discussion on “Creating Pathways for Girls and Women Through Sport“, key topics of conversation included the necessity of investing in women’s sports and the importance of dedicating time to this cause.
Among the valuable advice shared with the participating girls was the significance of consultation, understanding one’s purpose, and recognising the reasons behind their aspirations. That understanding serves as a foundation for being focused and intentional in their pursuits.
The panel emphasised the importance of overcoming self-imposed limitations, seeking daily personal development, empowering one another, and silencing distractions as essential strategies for success.
Mthokozisi Madonda is responsible for overseeing the NBA’s social initiatives across the continent, including in South Africa. He told SuperSport Schools Plus that the Her Time to Play programme aims to educate, inspire, and connect young girls while offering them access to various opportunities in the sport.
“Today we had a gender-based violence conversation for girls to be aware of gender-based violence, but also aware of their power and who they are and how they can create safe spaces,” Madonda said.
“And then, we followed that up with a panel discussion. We had four amazing panellists. Some of them have played basketball, some of them have played different sports, but they all believe in the power of sport to inspire young girls.”

Madonda shared that the initiative holds significant importance for him. Having grown up in Durban, he developed a passion for basketball and appreciates the potential of the sport to inspire youth.
He emphasised the necessity of focusing on young girls, stating: “There is considerable work to be done to ensure they have access and opportunities, and I take great pride in the NBA’s commitment to advancing this cause.”
Reflecting on the future of NBA Africa, Madonda expressed his enthusiasm, highlighting numerous developments on the horizon and his eagerness to witness them materialise.
“In South Africa, we have the Basketball Africa League approaching, and we will be conducting a series of roadshows in schools and communities. Our aim is to inspire young individuals to develop a passion for basketball.
“Specifically, regarding Her Time to Play, we aspire to replicate this initiative across various regions of the continent and the country, ensuring that more girls are informed and have the opportunity to engage in our wonderful sport,” he concluded.

Following four days of intense basketball competition at the annual International School of South Africa (ISSA)Tournament, Michael Mount Waldorf School claimed the boys’ title, while Sacred Heart College was crowned the girls’ champion.
It was the third year on the trot that Michael Mount secured the boys’ title. They did it with a 60-48 win over the hosts, ISSA, in the final.
Throughout the tournament, Michael Mount delivered dynamic performances to come away with an unbeaten record, which included an exceptional 52-28 defeat of the Mustangs Basketball Club in the semi-finals.
There was some consolation for the Mustangs as they secured third place by defeating ESCA 48-28 in the bronze playoff.
Unfortunately for the hosts, their girls’ team also fell at the final hurdle, going down to Sacred Heart College in the title game. The truth be told, they were never in the contest, with Sacred Heart powering their way to an emphatic 81-26 victory.
In the battle for bronze, Michael Mount triumphed 30-16 over Eswatini’s Waterford Kamhlaba.
Lufuno Musisidwa, from Michael Mount, was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the boys’ division, while Militia Cele, from Sacred Heart College, won the girls’ MVP.

The South Africa u17 girls’ national team, known as Bantwana, suffered a setback in a second round, first leg, u17 Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) | FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifier against Nigeria at the Lucas Moripe Stadium, in Pretoria, on Saturday, going down 1-3.
Despite contending with strong support from the locals, who sang and chanted throughout the contest, Nigeria secured a solid victory in South Africa’s backyard.
The game was tense in the early going, with a tactical battle unfolding. Nigeria, though, exhibited more composure on defence than the home team and maintained a good structure while seeking to punish South Africa with counterattacks down the flanks.
Mphelo Thorisho, on the left, and Sethabile Kamwande, at right-back, were kept busy by the speedy and skilful Nigerian wings. Both, though, were up to the task.
The match flowed one way and then the other until Nigeria took the lead through Shakirat Moshood. They went two goals clear when Harmony Chidi struck three minutes before the break.
With her team trailing, Bantwana coach Ntombifuthi Khumalo made some changes in an effort to overturn the Nigerians’ lead, including removing Nobahle Mdelwa. The Flamingos had done their homework and shut down the supply routes to Mdelwa.
South Africa pulled a goal back when captain Katlego Malebana netted from the penalty spot to give the hosts the hope of a share of the spoils. But Chidi scored her second goal of the game to make it 3-1 and Bantwana couldn’t find a way through the visitors.
South Africa fought to the end, but they failed to make use of the chances they created. It was a frustrating afternoon for the fans in the stands, who felt their team should have scored more than one goal.
After the game, Bantwana’s head coach, Ntombifuthi Khumalo, told the SAFA Media team that there are areas where her team needs to improve, but she remains hopeful that they can stage a strong comeback in Nigeria.
“Once our opponents put pressure on us, that’s where we fail to protect our posts,” Khumalo said. “That’s the challenge we need to fix before we head into the second leg. The girls showed resilience, and we know what we need to work on.”
South Africa captain Katlego Malebana was optimistic about her side’s chances of turning the tie around in Nigeria. “The game wasn’t that bad,” she said. “We just need to take advantage of our opportunities next time around. We believe in ourselves, and we’ll be ready for the second leg.”
Flamingos’ coach Bankole Olowookere praised his team’s performance, but he expects a tougher challenge in the return leg. “We had a good result, but we need to improve on a few things for the next game, as I know South Africa is also going to improve,” he said.
South Africa faces Nigeria at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo next weekend. They have a huge mountain to climb if they are to keep their u17 FIFA Women’s World Cup dream alive.
After three days of intense u19 competition at the International School of South Africa (ISSA) in Mahikeng, the final day of the boys’ and girls’ ISSA Basketball Tournament beckons on Sunday.
On Saturday, ISSA was impressive and qualified for the finals of both the boys’ and girls’ competitions. They will, though, face formidable opponents in the title games.
Boys’ Tournament
In the boys’ competition, the ISSA A Team, the winners of Pool D, will tackle the resolute Michael Mount Waldorf School A team, which topped the standings in Pool A.
In the first of the boys’ quarterfinals, ESCA defeated the ISSA B Team 30-25. The ISSA A Team advanced after a 39-30 win over TheKing’s School Linbro Park.
The quarterfinal clash between Michael Mount Waldorf School and Sol Plaatje Secondary School was fiercely contested and high-scoring, ultimately resulting in a narrow 74-71 win for Michael Mount. In the remaining quarterfinal, the Mustangs Basketball Club edged out the Michael Mount Waldorf School B Team 42-40 in another keenly contested clash.
In the semi-finals, the ISSA A Team kept their challenge for the title on their home court on track with a determined 51-39 win over ESCA. Michael Mount advanced to the title decider with a comfortable 52-28 defeat of the Mustangs Basketball Club.
Girls Tournament
In the girls’ final, the ISSA A team will take on Sacred Heart College for the championship title and the associated bragging rights.
ISSA cruised to a 46-5 win over Sol Plaatje Secondary School in the quarterfinals, while eSwatini’s Waterford Kamhlaba scored a narrow 16-15 victory over Trinityhouse Glenvista. Sacred Heart College showcased their strength against Lebone II College by powering their way to a 52-5 win, while Michael Mount was extended by Kitsong School before posting a 34-25 victory.
In the semi-finals, ISSA and Sacred Heart scored decisive victories. The hosts accounted for Waterford Kamhlaba, winning 42-17, while Sacred Heart College secured their berth in the final with a 54-22 romp against Michael Mount.

In the second round of the u17 Confederation of African (CAF) | FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifiers, South Africa hosts Nigeria at the Lucas Moripe Stadium, in Atteridgeville Pretoria, on Saturday.
The game will be broadcast on the public broadcaster South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) at 15:00. Fans have been urged to rally behind the u17 national team and entry to the stadium is free.
Coach Ntombifuthi Khumalo’sBantwanawill be seeking to maintain their momentum against a determined Nigeria, following their impressive performances in the first round of the qualifiers against Gabon. South Africa won by a massive 21-2 margin, cruising to victories both home and away.
As they prepare to face the Flamingos, South Africa is expected to be strengthened by the recent efforts of coach Khumalo and coach, Rhoda Mulaudzi, who have been scouting players across the country to strengthen the national side.
In late February, several young players, including the SA u17 captain, Katlego Malebana, were called up to the senior national team, Banyana Banyana, for back-to-back international friendlies against Lesotho at the University of Johannesburg, Soweto Campus.
Banyana Banyana secured victories in both matches, with the young players significantly contributing to the team’s success. The first match finished in a narrow 1-0 win, courtesy of a penalty converted by the 16-year-old Nobahle Mdelwa, while the second contest finished 2-0 in South Africa’s favour, with goals from Sibongile Ntoane and Unathi Simayile.
Several of the players who were in action against Lesotho are expected to run out against Nigeria on Saturday. It will be interesting to see how their experience with Banyana Banyana translates into their play in the qualifier.
