However, to receive provincial colours they must represent their province at a national level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is the team\u2019s common goal to represent our province at nationals,\u201d says Mandolios. \u201cThey have dedicated hours of training to prepare for this event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The national leg will take place in Johannesburg from Saturday 21 to Monday 23 September and is a costly event for the group, which is fundraising to achieve its goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need to get to the national competition in Johannesburg, but this is a costly affair,\u201d Mandolios
