“I am someone who likes fighting for myself that is why I did not want a team sport. I do not want a situation whereby my dream is diminished because of a team mate,” the 17-year-old said with confidence.

Born in Jwaneng, the youngster started off as a tennis player. He moved to squash in 2009, when he was introduced to the game by a coach identified only as Moyo.

Pelonomi has dominated local primary schools tournaments and gone on to test his skills against the best outside the country.
