Cheerleaders clinch top spot

WINNING TEAM: The CPUT cheerleaders.

Tuesday, 22 April 2025

The CPUT Cheerleaders kicked off their season by winning the first prize in their category at the Western province Majorettes and Cheerleaders Association (WPMCA) 1st Regional Competition.

The team of 11 cheerleaders took the top spot in the Tertiary: Performance Cheer: Hip Hop Teams category.

Team Leader Tumi Matlala expressed her joy over the team’s outstanding performance.

“It feels like a powerful glimpse of what’s ahead. My team has been putting in the extra hours, and it’s clear that the hard work is already paying off.

“Our preparation consisted of a lot of dedication and hard work. We had other cheer commitments for CPUT sports events that we could not neglect so that meant putting more hours in our practices. It was difficult, having to stay until late on campus but it was definitely worth it in the end.”

Cherice Mangiagalli, Student Development Officer: Sport, Arts and Culture, also expressed her pride.

"Congratulations to the CPUT Titans on achieving first place in their first WPMCA competition. I believe that this is a great start, and I look forward to seeing how they continue to progress throughout the remainder of the competitions. All the best, Titans!"
