Gugulethu Mngomezulu (23) from Empangeni has made her mark in Karate.
Mngomezulu joined Karate when she was only seven years old. Her father was a boxer so she was highly motivated by him to take part in sporting events. Being trained by her own father was really a cherry on the top.
“My father was my role model and I have always wanted to continue his legacy and in that way I got introduced to Karate as I wanted to use both my hands and legs,” explained Mngomezulu.
