Crowd favourite Nkosana was named best male athlete among those who took part in the Under-20 category. Nkosana won a number of events including the discus, shotput, 100m race and helped his school's 4x400m relay team to coast to victory in this sprint event.

Tekwane's 4x100m relay team was also led by Nkosana as they came second in this race.

Promising Under-18 female athlete Ayanda Sibanda, also of Tekwane, was voted the best female competitor after winning the long jump event and the 100m race.

She also led her school's 4x100m relay team to a first place finish in this race.
