Museum staffer to play national tournament

Heine Kohl, a staff member at the Albany Museum, has been selected to represent the Eastern Province at table tennis at the National Public Servants Sports & Cultural Events Tournament (NPSSCE) in Mpumalanga this weekend (9 to 11 October). Heine participated in provincial trials in Alice last month and was one of only four players selected out of 30 to go to the national event.

He used to participate in tournaments back in his school days, representing the South African District Sports Union (SADSU) under the banner of the South African School Sports Association (SASSA). Then he was playing rugby and cricket.

He says, “I am very excited to be participating in this tournament and I promise to make Albany Museum and Grahamstown proud.”

The National Public Servants Sports and Cultural Events (NPSSCE) is an organization that coordinates and facilitates civil servants' involvement with sports activities. The Eastern Cape hosted the National Tournament in 2014. This year the event is in Mpumalanga and all nine provinces will take part in a range of sports including football, volleyball, netball, tugof-war, table and lawn tennis, table pool, chess, mraba-raba and Jukskei.
