Chess star continues with checkmates

Mudongo's passion for chess grew when she was at Lethabile Junior Secondary School in Tonota when she was in Form One in 1995.

She had before then tried her hand at softball but because of the limited chances, Mudongo abandoned the sport.
When she started, Mudongo says chess was a new game to her and it took quite a while before she could master the moves. She took three weeks to know the names of the pieces and learn the proper moves. Mudongo said it was not very hard to learn the game as she had an interest.
