ZIMBABWE’S junior motocross champion rider Emmanuel Bako once again made his presence felt during the second round of the 2021 South African National Championship series at Rover in Port Elizabeth on Saturday where he took a credible second-place finish in the 85cc ProMini Class.
Bako arrived at Rover oozing with confidence after having swept the board in the same class during round three of the Inland Championship series at Erora in Kempton Park just outside Johannesburg the previous weekend but he was forced to settle for second place after fighting back to win the second heat in the ProMini Class in an exciting race in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.

He still has the beautiful pictures of the banquet, including one featuring runners-up Frank M’kanga of Risco and Black Aces’ genius Archieford “Chehuchi” Chimutanda.
Both M’kanga, a goalkeeper, Chimutanda, later played together with Mandigora, at Dynamos.
John Rugg and Highlanders’ James Nxumalo were joint winners of the 1980 Coach of the Year award and Frank Valdermarca was named Referee of the Year.
