Woman Candidate Master (WCM), Naledi Marape lived up to her name when her star shone brightly at the Africa Schools Chess Championships held in Harare, Zimbabwe. Marape was part of the junior national team.

Marape (10) proved her mettle when she took part in a competition above her age category. She played in the Under-13 category and still proved too strong for her senior counterparts, bagging a gold medal.

Her performance meant she booked her space at the World Schools Individual Championships to be held in Durres, Albania in April 2018. Marape has also qualified to receive a higher international chess title, Woman FIDE Master.
