Leboile set eyes on being a fencing great
Her love for fencing developed in 2008 after watching the Summer Olympics, however, 28-year-old Kate Leboile only became actively involved with the sport in 2016.
The Botswana Accountancy College (BA (Hons Business Entrepreneurship), and University of Pretoria (Fraud and Risk Management) graduate has already set her eyes on being a Fencing Master, just five years after learning how to use foils and epees.
In an interview with Voice Sport this week Leboile said after toying with the idea of learning how to fence for many years, she finally made up her mind in 2016 after seeing one Robert Mothapo’s Facebook post calling out to interested sports lovers to join fencing.
EXHILARATING: Students after their flights
Last Wednesday, the FLY for STEAME Southern Africa programme touched down in Francistown for a fun-filled day of learning and adventure.
The initiative, held in partnership with Air Botswana, saw 70 lucky students take to the overcast skies for a short scenic flight over the second city.
After the high of their trip into the clouds, the school kids, aged between eight and 18, were divided into two groups. They then took part in workshops on Business Leadership, run by Botswana Accountancy College (BAC), and Robotics and Programming conducted by Francistown College of Programming.
STEAME – Fly for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, and Entrepreneurship Southern Africa – is a scheme set up by Captain, Kgomotso Phatsima.
