Epworth debaters shine at national championships

At the end of 2020, Faye Crawford, Kathleen Munro and Sibongakonke Malinga were selected for the KZN debating squad. In the holidays, Faye and Kathleen participated in the 2020 South African National Schools’ Debating Championships, held online in December. In the junior division, Kathleen was ranked fifth in KZN and in the senior division, Faye came first. Faye also received her national half colours for debating and was one of five (out of 36 trialists) selected for Team SA, which will compete at this year’s world championships. Faye is the only female speaker on the team and is the first female from KZN in the last 10 years.
