Nyoka began his bowling career in November 2023 and within a short space, he is creating waves on the greens. Last month, he became the youngest club singles champion when he emerged victorious during Orapa's Singles Championships. He told MmegiSport that he hopes the achievement will open more doors of success. "Being crowned Orapa's youngest club singles champion genuinely makes me over the moon and hopefully, I will strike gold again at the youth championships and many more to come," he said.
Nyoka said he finds bowling soothing, which is why he picked it as his sport of choice. He has also played lawn tennis and football. "I find my interest in bowling as a calm sport which I get to relax, showcase my skills and have fun with my friends and family," he said. Nyoka has completed his Botswana General Certificate of Secondary Education (BGCSE) examinations and he wants to be a pharmacist. He said he will find time to balance between his chosen career and playing bowls. "The key to everything is commitment, time management, and discipline. Staying committed and focused to achieving my career goals and dividing time playing bowls as well during my spare time is the way. I believe that everything shall fall into place," he said. Nyoka was part of the Botswana youth team that recently took part in the 2025 Bowls South Africa Junior National Championship. "I would say I performed really well but we finished fourth in our group and did not qualify to move on to the next stage." Ironically, Nyoka beat his father, Edwin Nyoka (senior) to win the Orapa crown. Nyoka's father has been instrumental in his son's bowling journey. "I actually brought him to bowling for me to do coaching practicals in 2023. I was required to teach a new bowler from scratch to bring him to a level that he could play a game. I just coached him to attain my coaching badges. Choosing to play bowls was his choice since he already played lawn tennis and football," Edwin (senior) said. "He wants to achieve more from the sport since he grew up witnessing me succeed and representing my country regionally and internationally," he added.
