Jackson named SA coach for Africa Region South championships

Karate Satori chief instructor Jeffrey Jackson has been named national coach for the Africa Region South championships, due to take place in Durban in May.

Although not his first rodeo as national coach, Jackson, who is also the president of Karate Association of Cape Town Unicity (Kactu), says it's always an honour to represent the country and is looking forward to the challenge.

"For someone from Mitchell's Plain and the Cape Flats, it's a huge honour to be appointed as national coach on this platform," said Jackson, who grew up in Beacon Valley. "If I can, anyone can," he said.
