Details of the prize monies that may be won by females in MSSA's Online School League - 31 July 2023

Excelling in MSSA's NWU Online Schools League affords learners the opportunity to advance into the National Protea Team.

With the MSSA's NWU Online School League about to start on 31 July 2023 excitement is running high as schools and players ready themselves for the largest purse to be awarded to an official national school league. 

The overall prizes offered amounts to R65,000.00 and MSSA has continued to ensure that there are prizes awarded exclusively to the top female teams and/or individual players in the game titles for which prize money shall be given.

However, there is a twist, as, should a female, or a team consisting only of females, win the title overall, and not just be the highest placed female, such females shall earn both the overall purse as well as the extra R1,000.00.

The prizes are divided into three categories:

  • Overall purse prize being a bursary (courtesy of NWU to the value of R30,000.00 and R5,000.00 for the CS:GO, DotA 2, efootball, Mobile Legends Bang Banc, and Street Fighter V esports titles,
  • Prizes for the best female athletes, and
  • Best school award.
The six (6) titles which carry the fabulous prizes as sponsored by North West University (NWU) are:

Esports titles selected for all MSSA's 2023 Student Championships.

MSSA's official Protea Counter-Strike: GO Esports team in Russia in September 2022.

In 2022 Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) held its fifth annual Provincial Online Student Championships. The Student Championships formed the basis for the selection of the Student Championships for the the student team that MSSA sent to Russia in September 2022.

Any student of any South African tertiary institution (University, colleges, and TVET's) may participate, regardless of whether the institution is MSSA affiliated, or regardless if the player is registered, or not. Thus every student is afforded the opportunity of qualifying for the National Protea Team.

It may interest readers to note that the majority of esports athletes that have represented South Africa as members of the official Protea Teams have done so while being students at a tertiary educational institution.

However, it should be noted that only official teams entered by University Clubs affiliated to MSSA or the Sports Councils may use the tertiary institution's name. Also, only Registered Players qualify for the team selection process.

MSSA's Student championships allow students from all over the country to test their mettle against each other in an official championship that has the following benefits:

  • Enable students to earn Student Provincial Colours, and
  • Qualify for selection for the National Squad, and
  • Earn medals. The medals earned are awarded at MSSA's LAN Championships.

All the titles to be played at such event are:

South African National Morabaraba Champion, Saudah Bhaimia a student at University of Witwatersrand (Wits), is standing for the position of Student Representative.

The position of Student Representative was created at Mind Sports South Africa's (MSSA) 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM). The creation of the position position takes into account the growing interest in esports in Universities, Colleges, and TVET's.

This direct access to the Board allows students to be more involved in the decision making process as well as ensure that their concerns are addressed at the highest level possible without beauracratic interference.

Saudah Bhaimia is a perfect candidate for the position Having started her career while at Curro Klerksdorp, Saudah has earned the following colours:

  • North West High School Colours,
  • North West Provincial Colours. 
  • South African National High School Colours, and
  • South African National Colours.
  • Sportsperson of the Year Award (2018), and
  • Management Board Boardgamer of the Year Award winner (2019, 2020, and 2021)
Even while being a full time student at the University of the Witwatersrand, Saudah's commitment to all mind sports disciplines (board games, card games, esports, and wargames) remains unabated.
