At just 12 years old, Limpopoโ€™s Kgothatso Montjane - who was born with a congenital deformity - had her leg amputated. But she refused to be deterred. An energetic child with big dreams, she first pursued competitive ballroom and Latin American dance, despite her disability. That is until her schoolteachers introduced her to wheelchair tennis.
