| Elishia Retief - Mind Sports Person of the Year |
Mind Sports South
Africa (MSSA) revealed at its Annual General Meeting the
recipients of its prestigious Management Board Awards for the 2015
year.
It is always difficult for the Board to make these awards with so many outstanding performances from which to choose. Thus, the entire membership is enrolled in making nominations, and it is from these nominations that the final choice is made.

Elishia Retief –
Elishia needs no introduction. Elishia is the female World

for no less than two years in a row. Her standard of play is thus
at its peak, and her level of sportsmanship is without compare.

and Wales in South Africa. Lububalo finished in sixth place in the
World Qualifying Championships.

online test matches against Austria and Zimbabwe in which he
carried
himself with distinction. Kyle too is unbeaten for three years in
South African major championships.

– Jason is a two times Junior World Champion for Ancients
Wargames. His dedication is unparalleled. Jason too, is committed
to development and promotion of the game.
Morizane Boyes – It is not hard to praise Morizane. If MSSA requires assistance, Morizane is there. Her willingness to help, administrate, umpire and organise seems to know no bounds. Morizane is also South Africa's only internationally accredited umpire for eSports.
