Botswana Female Boxer Punches Her Way To The Global Stage
Sadie Keamogetse Kenosi, 22, is the first female boxer from Botswana to represent her country at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Kenosia won the gold in the African Youth Games. She was bullied at school and her first coach called her to join boxing. The national team coach, Lechedzani 'Master' Luza, believes Kenosa's achievements are inspiring other young women to take up the sport. The National Olympic Committee hopes Kenoso's feat could pave the way for more girls to participate in sports. However, there are still cultural barriers to girls taking up sports in Botswan.
