TuksCheerleading became the first-ever hosts of South Africa’s national cheerleading championship, making it a memorable weekend. It was instantly obvious that this was more than a competition. It was an honouring of skill, school spirit, and genuine excitement. The atmosphere was electric with the sound of music, shouting supporters, and teams giving it their best.
With their incredible performances full of lifts, flips, and stunts, TuksCheerleading had everyone on their feet. But the team’s spirit and motivation are the kind that comes from months of preparation, late-night sessions, and a passion for what they do.
This was more than just a competition; it served as a reminder to all of us of what makes being a member of UP so unique. This championship proved that there is so much more to university life than studying and writing tests. It highlighted the amazing things that can take place when we allow our passions to grow and develop.
Regardless of your interests in academics, athletics, or the arts, the message is the same: your work matters, and your opinion matters. Incredible things occur when we come together. Students who take charge encourage one another, as seen by TuksCheer.
