It’s been glitz, glamour, and awards as North West MEC for Education Viola Motsumi was awarded for initiating school sports by the SAFA North West at a gala ceremony held Thursday, 28 September 2023.
In her acceptance speech, Motsumi acknowledged the work done by all stakeholders to bring the vision to pass.
“I wish to thank all stakeholders and vision bearers who embraced the vision to bring back school sports. We cannot sit and watch our children perish in illegal substances when we can also develop them outside classroom walls by nurturing their talents through school sports” echoed Motsumi.
Motsumi is open to engaging on further talks with SAFA North-West in establishing competitive leagues such as Sasol leagues in schools.
The gala event was graced by Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos, and SAFA North West president David Molwantwa among others to honour North West sportsmen and women for their tireless work in contributing to the sports fraternity.
