The sporting community of Curro Klerksdorp is beaming with immense pride following the groundbreaking news from the national hockey arena. The school has officially issued an Alumni Achievement Alert to celebrate their stellar former learner, Lerato Mahole, on her latest selection to the South African Women’s Hockey Team.

Lerato’s rise to the pinnacle of South African sport serves as a shining example of where hard work, passion, and elite training can take a dedicated athlete.

From the School Astro to the International Stage

Reaching the national senior setup is widely considered the highest honor in South African sport, but maintaining that position requires an entirely different level of grit. Lerato’s continuous inclusion in the national squad highlights her world-class skill set, her outstanding athleticism, and her unwavering consistency on the turf.

For Curro Klerksdorp, seeing an alumna run out in the green and gold on the global stage is a massive validation of the school’s sporting structures and coaching philosophy. Lerato’s journey from a schoolgirl athlete on the local fields to an international hockey icon has become a powerful source of motivation for the next generation of Curro sportstars.

An Inspiration to the Curro Community

In a statement released by the school, the management praised her exceptional character: "Lerato’s dedication and perseverance continue to inspire our learners and the wider Curro Klerksdorp community. To see one of our own representing South Africa on the international stage is a moment of immense pride for us all."

Her success sends a clear message to current learners that with enough discipline and sacrifice, their biggest athletic dreams are entirely achievable—even from a regional hub like Klerksdorp.

As the South African Women’s Hockey Team prepares for their upcoming international fixtures, they will have a fiercely loyal army of supporters cheering them on from the North West province. The entire Curro family stands bankvas behind Lerato, wishing her clean tackles, strategic assists, and great victories on the world stage. Well done, Lerato!
