She is nominated for the Junior Sportswoman of the Year award, along with Jade Phiri from Zambia in swimming and Namibia’s Christine Mboma in athletics.

Meanwhile, Matsebula is a taekwondo sensation, who has dazzled Region V with his moves and medals last year. He will face two rivals from Malawi; Sean Joseph, a boxer, and William Chinzewe, a draught wizard from Zambia. The awards will be given in 10 categories plus two bonus awards for the outstanding country and federation.
