Tennis women’s wheelchair ace changing the narrative at Wimbledon and beyond - KG Montjane

A South African wheelchair tennis ace has made history at Wimbledon this year, when she made the finals the singles and doubles championships. She is Kgothatso (also known as KG Montjane), who has been praised in all quarters - including some of the old legends in tennis - for becoming the first black South African woman to reach the finals at Wimbledon. In the singles, she was beaten by Dutch tennis player, Diede de Groot. Montjane told BizNews about her epic run at Wimbledon, her next challenge (the Paralympics in Tokyo) and how she wants to change the narrative around funding for Paralympic athletes. We caught up with KG shortly after the match.
