Cape Town – Media personality Minnie Dlamini was over the moon when she met tennis star Venus Williams in Paris this past week.
Taking to her Instagram page to share a snap of her and the American professional tennis player, Minnie said Venus and her sister Serena Williams meant a lot to her.
“I literally can’t breathe” That is the message I sent to my family group as soon as I saw her. I tried really hard to tell her how much she and her sister mean to me. My dad made me and my late brother play tennis because of them and getting my provincial colours for tennis was one of my proudest moments, as I remember being one of the only black kids on the court growing up,” Minnie wrote an Instagram post.

Representation matters”.
