Mind
Sports South Africa (MSSA) revealed at its Annual General Meeting the
recipients of its prestigious Management Board Awards for the 2016
year.
Such awards have been awarded since 2009 and properly reflect those who have dedicated there time and efforts.
It is always difficult for the Board to make these awards with so many outstanding performances from which to choose. There are just so many members who have delivered outstanding results during the year. Thus, the entire membership is enrolled in making nominations, and it is from these nominations that the final choice is made.

Jason
Batzofin – 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. Not only that,
but Jason, in 2016, was hand-picked by IeSF to serve on the IeSF
Athlete's Commission and served as the youngest Team Manager for a
Protea eSports Team.
Lucille
Brown – Lucille has demonstrated her skill at every turn.
Lucille won the Morabaraba section at the 2015 SA National
Championships, 2016 Free State Championships, and 2016 North West
Championships. Lucille also won the Checkers sections at
the 2016 Gauteng Championships and 2016 Mpumulanga Championships.
Without doubt, Lucille has established herself as a force to be
reckoned with in the games of Checkers and Morabaraba.
Matthew
Smith - Has represented South Africa in both 2015 and 2016
IeSF World Championships in the game of League of Legends. His drive,
dedication and ability to motivate other team members makes him
a worthy recipient of this award.
Garth
Schoeman – Garth has been a loyal member of MSSA since the
1990's. Although work and family life have impacted on his
gaming, over the years Garth has still managed to serve on
MSSA's MANCOM, run Knights Mind Sports Club and be a fierce
competitor. Thus, although he first earned Protea Colours in 2002,
Garth's standard is still good enough for him to win the 2015 SA
National Championships and be re-awarded National Federation
Colours.
Colin Webster – Having been involved in MSSA since its inception, Colin has remained active and dedicated to MSSA.

have been as significant as what it is.

In 2016 they launched E-Magazines for different interest groups and in 2017 they will be launching a Gaming Magazine supported by Blue Label Telecoms.
