Makhubela said, I am so proud of the young ones in the club because they never let their spirit get damp because of being short of resources sometimes, whenever we go out to play, we try to take our A-game even though we often dont have that much support, we always strive to positively represent our country and our people.

The five-year-old Nokukhanya Chauke may be very young and tender, however, players in the chess fraternity already notice her as she will be representing South Africa for various upcoming chess tournaments.
