Chilliboy Ralepelle with Musenga Primary School players
and the Department of Sport and Recreation have
encouraged and supported our efforts to take sport into
disadvantaged schools. Our programmes align closely with
the Department of Sport and Recreation’s vision of creating
‘An active and winning nation’ and its primary focus of
providing opportunities for all South Africans to participate
in sport. Together we play a pivotal role in bringing sport
into the curriculum in all schools,” says Collins.
Collins says there is tremendous scope for further
collaboration in sports development. “Any company,
department, or individual can play a role in contributing
to a better future for our youngsters. We would encourage
other companies and organisations to be creative and look
Gavin Annandale, JJ Breedt, Lucy Purdon,
Stephan Greef and Ruhan Nel with the future stars
at the specialised set of skills that they have as a company;
it’s all about getting involved.”
Joseph adds, “At the time of the Rugby World Cup in 1995,
Nelson Mandela said, ‘Sport has the power to change the
world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite
in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a
language they understand.’ We’ve seen this in our country.
We’ve seen sport add a new dimension to the culture of
national unity in South Africa. We’ve seen it add to the hope
of our nation for a bright future for every South African.
We’re now seeing it in action in our community – and we’re
immensely proud to be a part of it.” l
