Northdene Preparatory School learner Shivam Naidoo has goals of one day obtaining his South African Colours in chess.
The talented Grade Six learner was recently selected for the Durban and Districts (D&D) Chess Team.
In term one, Shivam and his school won the Queensburgh and Districts (Q&D) Chess Tournament, a feat they matched from last year.
The 12-year-old explained that his chess journey began at an early age and also touched on his recent achievement.
“I started playing chess when I was six years old. I downloaded a chess game on my iPad, and I found myself enjoying it. I learned the game of chess on my own and found I had a passion for it. I was absolutely delighted with my D&D achievement as I have worked really hard to achieve this goal. I’m also proud to wear my D&D badge.

Mekayla Henderson has been making waves in the sport of swimming.
She attends West Park School which caters for learners with intellectual challenges.
This year, she has proven her mettle at two swim meets, the first being the Umlazi District Swimming Trials in January.
Mekayla then competed at the South African Schools’ Para Swimming Champs, which was a national gala at Kings Park Swimming Pool.
She won nine medals at the competition, which included three gold.
“It felt amazing being part of the competition as I had never competed in one before. I loved being a part of it all. Winning nine medals wasn’t something I had planned on doing, but I was shocked, amazed and happy at the same time. The support from my school and my family also made it a proud moment for me. I hope to continue to improve my swimming, and I feel my coaches (Amy and Hayden) have helped me excel. I also try where I can motivate other learners to swim, as well,” she said.
