MBABANE – Eswatini’s Under-12s tennis star Joshan Eziebo was crowned the
champion of the Junior Tennis Initiative (JTI), this past Saturday.
The tournament was sponsored by HiFi Corp and it took place at the Swaziland
Building Society (SBS) tennis court at Lobamba.  Joshan walked away with a
trophy and a HiFi Corp gift card of E450. With this card he would be able to
purchase anything from the shop worth that money. He was crowned the champion
after defeating Phiwokuhle Nsibande with a score-line of 6-0 in the finals.
Medal
Nsibande scooped the second place prize where he walked away with a silver medal
as well as a HiFi Corp gift card worth E350. In third place was Bulelani Khumalo
who bagged a bronze medal and a HiFi Corp gift card worth E200.  He was awarded
after beating Bantubonke Maseko 6-0. Meanwhile, Eziebo’s name has become
synonymous with success. He raised the country’s flag high on May, 2024 at the
Mbombela Tennis Open tournament where he was awarded a silver medal and a
trophy. The Eswatini’s junior tennis top seed also got an impressive victory
in the Under-12s tournament that took place earlier this year in Pretoria, South
Africa. HiFi Corp Mbabane Branch Manager Mongezi Sukati said they were impressed
by the attendance of the youngsters and the standard of play.
