She consequently earned herself the title of Junior Africa Challenge Champion awarded to the best girl and boy in each age group.

 

Her win also earned her entry into the 2019 World Junior Championships in Malaysia later this year.

 

The ten-year-old performance was an improvement on her third-place finish she achieved at the championship when she was nine last year.

 

After finishing third in South Africa last year, Keisha earned entry into the World Junior Championships in Malaysia in December 2018 where she emerged 14th in her category off a field of 108 female juniors across the globe.
