Vaulting
Mrs Barbie Gertenbach informed on the evolution of Vaulting in South Africa, Malawi and Swaziland and the creation of an Africa Cup-type event.
She invited all NFs interested to join attend this event. This sport is affordable for developing countries and attracts kids to the sport.
In addition, it is relatively easy for a developing NF to compete at an International level and win medals.
