The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (EMM) is on a drive to collate a database of all sport and recreation organisations that exist within the region.
The municipality recently launched the Ekurhuleni Sport and Recreation Structures Audit 2015.
Mr Themba Gadebe, the spokesperson for the EMM, said the mission of the EMM’s Sport and Recreation Division is to contribute to the development of the community through the provision of excellent sport and recreation services and programmes.
Mr Gadebe said in order to achieve this, it is necessary for the metro to compile a comprehensive database containing all of the relevant information about its stakeholders and community structures that are involved in sport and recreation programmes.
“This information will be used to determine the status of sport and recreation in Ekurhuleni and will also determine the way forward with regards to how the EMM can support programmes and events taking place in Ekurhuleni,” said Mr Gadebe.
“This will also ensure that we make an effective contribution towards enhancing the quality of life of our communities partaking in such activities,” he said.
Audit registration forms are available at all Ekurhuleni Customer Care Centres (CCC) and libraries, as well as from the EMM website www.ekurhuleni.gov.za.
Completed forms can be submitted at the Customer Care Centres, libraries or at the Sports and Recreations offices situated at the Germiston Stadium, Delville North Road, Germiston South.
For more information, sports and recreation organisations can contact Ms Leleti Ntombela on 011 999-1746, at leleti.ntombela@ekurhuleni.gov.za or fax 086 659 8019.
