In an attempt to develop horse racing sport into a professional manner and growth, Winnie Madikizela Mandela Local Municipality (LM), took an initiative and hosted an Annual Traditional Horse Racing which was held last week at Dyifani Racecourse in ward 13, Mbizana.
The race offered different categories which were grades 9,8,7,6,5,4,3 and 2 who were also awarded prizes with the top categories receiving the prices.
The race was graced by the horse racing fanatics from all corners of Winnie Madikizela Mandela municipality.
Addressing the audience at the race, Cllr Nokonwabo Cendimbo expressed her gratitude to the participants of the race stating that the municipality will continue to support programmes like these as this sport is one of the most underprivileged sports in the sport fraternity.
She urged those who have not made it this year should not be discouraged but keep on competing for better chances.
