MBABANE – She rules the Southern African region when it comes to Taekwondo.
That is Carlota Muvane, who was the only lady to bring home a gold medal from
the Confederation of Southern Africa Taekwondo (COSATA) Championships held in
Gaborone, Botswana on Saturday. Muvane competes in the -+67 kg.
The 21-year-old said she would not rest upon return from Botswana as she is now
preparing for the Korean Ambassador Cup billed for Pretoria next weekend.
Times: How are you feeling about your performance in Botswana?
Carlota: I’m’ so proud of my performance. I was at my best as I did not
commit any fouls in all my matches and I was able to manage them well. I went
there to win the gold and I brought it home successfully.
Times: How was the competition?
Carlota: In the face of the pressure, I kept calm and collected since my
opponents in the finals enjoyed home advantage. I had so much fun and I am happy
to be crowned the SADC champion.
Times: Will you be able to continue with the good performance in upcoming
tournaments?
Carlota: I have to keep on working hard as there are a lot of big tournaments
ahead. Among these are the World Championships billed for Manchester, England
and is a real test for me if I am ready to conquer the world. Also in the
pipeline is the Korean Ambassador Cup in South Africa.
Times: What are your future targets and goals?
Carlota: I aspire to one day unite the country in victory with the first ever
Olympic medal and my focus is on the Tokyo 2020 and 2024 Paris Olympics Games.
