Tent pegging: Teenager on a mission to grow the sport - BBC Africa
At 19 years old, Makhosazana "Khosi" Dlomo is breaking barriers in one of South Africa’s least diverse sports. The teenager is not only the country’s sole black participant in tent pegging - a traditional cavalry sport - but also the only registered black female competitor across sub-Saharan Africa.
Often seen as an elite pursuit dominated by white, middle-class riders, tent pegging remains on the fringes of South Africa’s sporting culture. But Dlomo is determined to change that - bringing fresh energy, visibility, and a fierce passion for the sport she has come to love.
BBC Sport Africa caught up with Khosi to learn more about her journey, and vision for the future of tent pegging in South Africa.
