In addition to Karate, she has an interest in tennis, chess, pool, darts and basketball. She was part of the ladies basketball team that won a silver medal for Nust at the 2016 FASU games in South Africa. Neddy has mastered the art of time management and is therefore able to be involved in sports and other extra-curricular activities such being part of Campus Moments Magazine and contributing articles related to health, serving in the Zimbabwe Medical Students Association and Nust Sports Council.
