Young judokas who took part in the South African Open International Judo competition held at the Carnival City, Johannesburg recently brought home 15 medals.

A group of young Judokas (7-12 years of age) from registered judo clubs in Botswana, coached by Sensei Willie Paulsen, travelled to South Africa and did extremely well.
