Sportsmanship Award - Northern Cape Online Esports Provincial Championships

Irene Banda, of Sunnyridge Primary School in Germiston, is one of the up-and coming stars in South African esports.

A sportsmanship award serves as a testament to the values of fairness, respect, and integrity in sports. It acknowledges athletes who exemplify these qualities and contributes to fostering a positive sporting environment conducive to character development, teamwork, and enjoyment for all involved.

At every event MSSA selects the person who most embodies the concept of sportsmanship. At the end of the year, the Sportsperson of the Year is selected from those who have been selected at official MSSA events.

The 
Northern Cape Online Esports Provincial Championships held on 24 January 2026 was the first championship held in 2026 to deliver a winner of a Sportsmanship Award and a candidate for the end of year Sportsmanship of the Year Award.

Irene Banda only started competing on a provincial and national championship level in 2025 where Irene won the 2025 Provincial School Online Championship for all provinces, and the 2025 South African National Championships to earn Gauteng Primary School Colours, South African Senior National Colours and South African Primary School National Colours.

In the Northern Cape Online Esports Provincial Championships held on 24 January 2026 Irene convincingly won the female section for the Clash Royale esports title to win both Senior and Primary School Gauteng Provincial Colours. Irene won with both charm and grace, and at not time did she stop smiling....
