CJS Prestige Awards 2023
The CJS Prestige Awards 2023 was held on Saturday, 18 November 2023, at the beautiful Idlewild Country Estate in Gauteng, South Africa.
For some, it also is the end of their chapter with CJS. The matrics were also treated with a video on their journey with CJS and they received a gift from Head Coach Maryna Fourie. We wish the matrics all the best for the next chapter in their lives.
Congratulations to each CJS player for their achievements for 2023! We are proud of you!
