Thato Maredi finishes in the top eight!

Having moved into the relegation rounds,  Thato was drawn against Setranirina Raharison of Madagascar. Setranirina is a player of great renown and the match was tense and thrilling.

Nevertheless Thato triumphed over Setranirina in a 2 - 21 victory to move forward to meet his next opponent.

Now in the top eight, Thato faced off against the indomitable Haddadi Moslem of Tunisia.

Thato gave it his all!

Thato employed every stratagem, every tactic and all his skill, but unfortunately to no avail. Haddadi proved to be too strong and Thato succumbed to the strong Tunisian player and finally lost 0 - 2.

Nevertheless, Thato, and MSSA as a whole, was more than satisfied with Thato's effort and result.

This was the first time that Thato had played in an international event for South Africa, and, he had performed admirably.

Colin Webster, President of MSSA, said, "Thato is the type of athlete that makes all of South Africa proud, and will no doubt do better in future years now that he knows the standard of play that he is up against!".

Even though the event ran two hours late which placed great strain on all the participating athletes, Thato Wesley Maredi, from Tembisa, rose to the challenge and kept his mind focussed on his games.

After demolishing his opponent from Ethiopia and Libya, Thato had to face the skillful Mamadou Ndiaye from Senegal.

Thatho battled hard against Mamadou, but eventually succumbed to intense pressure from the Senegalese player who is expected the finish in the top four.

Nevertheless, Thato has progressed out of the group stages into the dreaded knock-out stages for the top sixteen (16) players.

After a good night's rest, Thato is feeling enthused and ready to take on all opponents.

As Thato said, "I will rectify my mistakes from yesterday - as I'm typing I am re-watching yesterday's stream   I am ready for today's matches, and I will give my best!".
