Kamphulusa attributed her feat to calmness.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a good shot for us. Even though we were given a short notice [to host the event], we felt we needed to support the club and the sport; hence,our sponsorship. We offer luxury apartments, lodging and accommodation,\u201d Cedar Place Marketing Supervisor, Atupele Singano, said.<\/p>\n
