Makhosazana “Khosi” Dlomo, a 19-year-old, is breaking barriers in one of South Africa’s least diverse sports. The teenager is not only the country’s sole black participant in tent pegging – a traditional cavalry sport – but also the only registered black female competitor across sub-Saharan Africa.
Often seen as an elite sport pursuit dominated by white, middle-class riders, tent pegging remains on the fringes of South Africa’s sporting culture. But Dlomo is determined to change that – bringing fresh energy, visibility, and a fierce passion for the sport.
BBC Sport Africa caught up with Dlomo to learn more about her journey, and vision for the future of tent pegging in South Africa.
