The Northern Cape Chess Federation is extending its heartfelt congratulations to the Moja Chess Club for its outstanding and ground-breaking event – the Moja Chess Extravaganza, held in Kimberley from 29 September to 4 October.
This momentous event not only exemplifies a remarkable achievement, but also symbolises the pinnacle of excellence in the world of chess.
Dr Jabulani Mokoena, the visionary president of the Moja Chess Club, deserves special commendation for his unwavering commitment to the advancement of chess in the Northern Cape, South Africa and the broader African continent. His vision and dedication have been instrumental in taking chess to new heights, and his leadership has been an inspiration.
The Moja Chess Extravaganza has shown that the Northern Cape is capable of redefining the boundaries of chess by implementing innovative, creative and unconventional approaches to promoting the game. This event has not only established itself as a prestigious gathering within the African chess community, but has also set a benchmark of excellence for others to follow.
The federation wholeheartedly endorses and supports such initiatives in our province. We encourage other chess clubs and organisations to be inspired by the exemplary efforts of the Moja Chess Club and adopt best practises to continue contributing to the growth and promotion of chess in the province and the country.
The success of the Moja Chess Extravaganza reaffirms our belief that chess is not merely a game, but a catalyst for positive change, education and community development. We look forward to even greater achievements and milestones in the future and are ready to collaborate with all those who share our passion for chess.
Once again, congratulations to Dr Mokoena and the entire Moja Chess Club for remarkable achievements.
We look forward to a future of exciting chess endeavours in the Northern Cape and beyond.
The Northern Cape Chess Federation is the governing body for chess in the province. It is committed to the promotion and advancement of chess and supports chess clubs, organises events and encourages participation in chess throughout the Northern Cape.
