Former asylum seeker wins Black History Month award

A former asylum seeker who was coached by her dad has won a sport award as part of Black History Month.

Kimberly Mpukusa became the number one Welsh under 18s tennis player despite struggling to find a sponsor.

The event's first youth awards, for people aged between 13 and 30, took place in Cardiff on Thursday.

Ms Mpukusa started playing tennis aged nine on a school trip, and her dad picked up the sport and read books in order to help her.

She said her family had struggled for her to get to where she is now.
