Madibaz Sport rowing manager, Melinda Goosen, expressed her excitement for the upcoming regatta, noting that the team has been working hard to prepare for the competition. Despite entering a small team of 12, Goosen is confident that the Madibaz will rise to the challenge and gain valuable experience from competing against top-tier opponents.
