While internationally renowned Gqeberha resident Kirsten Neuschafer is already a pioneer, intrepid explorer and world record holder, the best is yet to come from the local sailing hero.
Gqeberha sailor Kirsten Neuschafer, who became the first woman to win a solo around-the-world sailing event, has been named as The Herald Nelson Mandela University Citizen of the Year in the sports category.
The prestigious The Herald Nelson Mandela University Citizens of the Year awards will return for the 31st round this time with a new special award in honour of the late humanitarian sister Ethel Normoyle.
