The netball champion 1 2
As the applause died away, the team rushed forward to embrace Zee – and their trophy! Te official who had just handed it over smiled and stepped aside, remembering the excitement of that first win. “I’d like to talk with this young champion,” she thought, as she turned away … “Excuse me, but aren’t you Ntambi Ravele, the netball champion?” It was

the young winning captain, standing in front of the officials’ table where they were finishing some final paperwork. Startled and pleased, Ntambi exclaimed, “Tat’s me! – but it was a long time ago! How did you know I was once champion?” “I always read all I can about netball, and one of my friends gave me a

newspaper article about you. It told how you had become a sports teacher, then a sports administrator, and now you head up ‘Women in Sport’ and organise championships like these.” Zee smiled shyly, her expressive eyes fixed on Ntambi’s face. “We are all so grateful for this tournament, and the chance to play against other teams! Did you have tournaments like this when you were a school player?” Ntambi shook her head, smiling at Zee’s enthusiasm and curiosity. “No,
I’m afraid there weren’t even female sports’ coaches when I was at school. I had to coach myself, even at high school!” She laughed at Zee’s obvious astonishment. “Yes, it’s changed a lot now! At least most schools have female coaches, don’t they?”

Zee laughed with her. “You’re right, we do have a teacher who coaches us
in netball.” She paused, thinking. “I thought we had nothing, really, or very little – few balls, no uniforms; but now I see we at least have a coach.” Ntambi put a hand on the girl’s shoulder: “And you have wonderful talent.
Keep up the hard work!” In the bus home, Zee told her team about the encouragement she had
had from the official. Her enthusiasm was clear – she waved her hands, and nodded to emphasize important words. “Did she really have no netball coach at her school?” one of the girls asked.
“How on earth did she become a champion?” At the front of the bus, Ms Pedi, their coach, listened carefully. She was

curious to hear what Zee would answer. She knew all about Ntambi Ravele, and was very pleased that this young player of hers had met such a strong role-model. “Well,” Zee answered thoughtfully, “I guess she was very determined. She
