England’s Mimi Rhodes brought her winning form to Johannesburg as she claimed the clubhouse lead in Thursday’s first round of the Joburg Ladies Open at Modderfontein Golf Club, with South Africa’s Casandra Alexander just one shot behind her, in Johannesburg on Thursday, 3 April, 2025. A heavy afternoon downpour forced the suspension of the round because of a waterlogged course and it will be completed on Friday morning.

At the age of 18, Arina Nicolaisen broke the T38 800m world record at the 2019 World Para-Athletics Junior Championships in Switzerland. One thought that would be the launch pad to great things. She was a teammate of the likes of Ntando Mahlangu, Simone Kruger and Puseletso Mabote, who have all been to two Paralympics already, writes MARK LEMKE. However, Nicolaisen’s path didn’t follow that of her teammate. Now 24, she took a two-year hiatus from running in 2022 and 2023, but the positive news is that she is back on the track and looking better with each run. “Breaking the world…

The absence of South African teams in this weekend’s Investec Champions Cup last 16 should not be mistaken for insignificance. The handprint of South African rugby on the tournament runs deep.

The two most dominant teams of the past decade, Toulon and Saracens, had a strong South African presence and South Africans were influential in the title wins of Toulouse and Leinster.
