Taratry ny fisandratan'ny tenisy an-tsezankodiarana ao Afrika Atsimo ny fandresen'i Kgothatso Montjane tao Wimbledon [1]

['Zita Zage']

Date: 2024-07-25

Niditra tao anatin'ny tantara i Kgothatso Montjane avy any Afrika Atsimo, tamin'ny 14 Jolay 2024, rehefa nandrombaka ny anaram-boninahitra Wimbledon Women's Wheelchair Doubles niaraka tamin'ny namany, Yui Kamiji avy any Japana rehefa teo an-tampon'ny fahavononana, ny fikirizana ary ny talenta miavaka.

Montjane, tia antsoina hoe “KG”, dia avy any Seshego, Polokwane, any amin’ny faritanin’i Limpopo, any Afrika Atsimo. Teraka nanana fahasembanana ara-boajanahary nitarika ho amin'ny fanapahana ny tongony teo ambany lohalika i Montjane teo amin'ny faha-12 taonany, ary niatrika fanamby hatramin'ny fahazazany. Nanoritsoritra ny fahazazany izy nandritra ny resadresaka nifanaovana tamin'ny International Tennis Federation (ITF) :

When I was a kid a lot of people would stare at me. I didn’t know what they were staring at and sometimes they refused to play with me and I didn’t understand why, but as I grew up I began to understand why they didn’t want to play with me—because I wasn’t fast enough. And I have come to understand why they were staring at me, simply because I was differently abled. It was quite a tough childhood to grow up with a disability.
