Nkashi Classic: Kedisa is champion at last

When the Nkashi Classic was announced in 2018,Kedisa, then a young fisherman from Boro, knew that his sport had finally arrived. This would be a competition about his way of life of mokoro poling and because he trusted his endurance to pole faster than any of his peers, Kedisa fancied his chances of winning the race.

On the inaugural race day, October 2018 along the Thamalakane River in Maun, the young man did what he knew best. But his best was not good enough that day as he was beaten by Nkeletsang ‘Ralph’ Moshupa (45) from Jao by a second.
