Epworth Taekwondo Club Instructor Master Willard Kashiri expressed his joy and pride in his students’ success, describing their achievement as a reflection of hard work and dedication.
“I am very happy for my students for their hard work and for representing our country so well in Africa.
The Zone 6 African Open Series is the biggest Taekwondo tournament in Southern Africa, and their recognition for winning medals shows the results of our consistent training and commitment,”,” said Master Kashiri.
He added that seeing his students excel at such a high level was one of the greatest rewards of his coaching career.
