Pietermaritzburg, South Africa (20 March 2025) – In the realm of sports, South Africans, regardless of their background or age, continually impress! Whether it’s on the running track, the rugby field, in competitive waters, or in the exhilarating world of motorsport, our athletes consistently rise to the occasion, breaking records, winning gold, filling us with pride and consistently leave our hearts pumping out our chests with pride.
Steadily making her mark in the world of athletics is young Akheeliah Solomon from Pietermaritzburg.
Her natural talent and tireless training recently saw her dashing her way to the Umgungundlovu Regional Athletic Team, where she showed off her incredible skills at the Provincial Athletic Championship by clutching gold in her U15 100m race in a time of 12.98 seconds!
This amazing feat will see Akheeliah participating in the National Championships in Bloemfontein on 4 and 5 April 2025, then bolting to Cape Town a week later to compete in the National Championships at Green Point where she looks forward to securing her name as one of the rising South African athletes to look out for.
