Rustenburg’s Timothy Meuwsen shines at African Open

Rustenburg – In a stunning show of resilience, determination, and heart, Rustenburg’s very own Timothy Onkgopole Meuwsen has once again proven that champions are not only born — they’re built.

Competing at the prestigious African Open Judo competition, hosted for the very first time in South Africa from 26-27 June 2025, Timothy brought the entire crowd to its feet as he fought — quite literally — through pain and into history.

Fighting in the final against New Zealand’s Maarten De Ridder, the stakes were high. In the first minute, Timothy sustained a knee injury. Yet, driven by the cheers of an electric crowd and the burning desire to make his country and hometown proud, he pressed on. The match stretched into a gruelling 13-minute golden score overtime — every second packed with tension, every movement a test of will… And then, to thunderous applause, Timothy took gold.

This latest victory sees him climb from 85th to 72nd in the world rankings in his weight division, solidifying his place as the highest-ranked male Judoka in South Africa.

But this gold medal is more than just a win — it’s a symbol of perseverance. Behind Timothy’s solo performance on the mat lies a dedicated village of coaches, teammates, and supporters who ensure no day passes without hours of sweat and discipline. Between six to eight hours of daily training, Timothy continues to chase his dream: qualifying for the 2028 Olympic Games.

A proud alumnus of Bergsig Academy and the University of Pretoria, he now trains at the Tuks High Performance Centre. Yet, despite his elite level, funding remains a constant challenge. Speaking in a recent interview on 5FM’s Champions Blueprint podcast, Timothy highlighted the lack of support for Judoka in South Africa — urging potential sponsors to come forward and invest in homegrown talent.

“Judo is not just about winning, but about personal growth, respect and self-improvement,” said Dr Thembani Hlasho, president of Judo South Africa.

Rustenburg’s Olebogeng heads for Mister SA glory

Rustenburg – From the heart of Rustenburg to the global stage, Olebogeng Moreotsile is not only chasing crowns but a greater cause. The local educator has earned his spot as a contestant for Mister South Africa 2025 and a finalist for Mister Model Mediterranean Global South Africa 2025. More than just a celebration of looks, these pageants seek role models — and Olebogeng embodies that.

“My mission is to advocate for better school infrastructure and sports facilities,” he says. “Our children deserve learning environments that inspire success. And through sport, we build stronger minds, healthier bodies, and future leaders.”

As a full-time teacher, juggling lesson plans and photo shoots might seem impossible, but not for this dedicated role model. “It’s about structure,” he explains. “Breaking down tasks, staying focused, and always remembering your ‘why’.”

Olebogeng studied Education at North West University (Mafikeng), earned an N4 in Management Assistance at Taletso TVET College (Lehurutshe), and is currently pursuing Accounting Sciences at UNISA — proving that dreams are built on discipline.

Now, he’s calling on Rustenburg to support his dream. “To represent South Africa in Spain this November for Mister Model Mediterranean Global, I need to raise R30,000 for travel and registration. I’m also encouraging people to vote for me online through the Imperial Vote platform.”

His journey into pageantry is rooted in a deeper purpose. “It’s not just about appearances. It’s about embracing public speaking, and using your platform to uplift others.” His advice for aspiring models and young dreamers? “Start where you are. Know your ‘why’. Pageants can build confidence, open doors, and give you a voice. Even in tough times, stay grounded — one step at a time.”

We stand behind you, Olebogeng — with pride, purpose, and Rustenburg spirit.

HOW TO SUPPORT:
Follow Olebogeng and Mister South Africa on all social media platforms.
- Vote via the Imperial Vote platform (link in his social media bio).
- For sponsorship or donations toward his international journey, contact him directly via social media.

Did you know?

Released in August 1939, just days before World War II began, The Wizard of Oz brought colour — literally and emotionally — to a world on the brink of darkness. While not the first film in colour, its magical transition from sepia-toned Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz became a symbol of hope and escapism. Dorothy’s journey reminded viewers that even in troubled times, courage, heart, and a little bit of magic could lead you home. For many, Oz was more than a movie — it was comfort in a time of uncertainty.
