🏆 WHAT AN HONOUR! 🏆

🥇 The Van der Merwe Family • Mia van der Merwe – Double South African Beach Wrestling Champion • Minkie van der Merwe – South African Beach Wrestling Silver Medallist • Wikus van der Merwe (Dad & Coach) – South African Beach Wrestling Silver Medallist

🥇🥇 The Kunneke Family • Adriaan Kunneke – South African Beach Wrestling Champion & South African Greco Champion • Tiaan Kunneke (Dad & Coach) – South African Greco Championships Bronze Medallist
These remarkable achievements are a testament to years of dedication, sacrifice, discipline, and family support. Having two wrestling families producing champions and medallists at the highest level is something truly special.
Two bloodlines. One club. One goal.
Together, they represent the values that define Melkbosstrand Wrestling Club: Pride. Passion. Family. Champions.
Congratulations to both families on your outstanding achievements. You inspire the next generation of wrestlers and make our club proud every step of the way.
💙❤️💛

FATHER & SON MAKING HISTORY ON THE MAT!

A massive congratulations to Adriaan and dad, Tiaan Kunneke, on their outstanding performances at the South African Greco Championships!

Adriaan was crowned South African Greco Champion 2026, bringing home GOLD after an incredible display of determination, discipline, and skill.

Tiaan proudly earned a Bronze Medal, proving that passion for the sport knows no age and setting an incredible example both on and off the mat.

What a remarkable achievement for a father and son to compete together at the same South African Championships and both stand proudly on the podium. This is a moment to cherish and a testament to hard work, commitment, and the strength of family.

A very special thank you to Coach Richard Ferreira from Olympians Sport Academy for taking Adriaan under your wing and guiding him all the way to Gold. Your dedication, knowledge, encouragement, and countless extra hours of coaching have played a huge role in this success. The sacrifices, commitment, and hard work behind the scenes do not go unnoticed and are deeply appreciated.

Congratulations once again to Adriaan, Tiaan, Coach Richard, and everyone who has been part of this incredible journey.

Proud. Dedicated. Determined.
