Creating sport pathways for KwaDukuza youth
The sport day aims to try and unearth the next generation of superstars.
Twenty-eight soccer and netball teams dusted off their boots and tekkies for a chance at district glory in KwaDukuza recently.
The U13 pupils from schools across KwaDukuza faced off in a sports day hosted by Stanger Build it at Stanger High School.
It was held as part of a pledge from Stanger Build it to try and unearth the next generation of sport superstars in South Africa.
“We feel it is important to give back,” said Stanger Build it co-owner, Ravin Rampersadh.
“Twenty years back a stand-out soccer player emerged at one of these days and he went on to play for and work with AmaZulu. That is what we are trying to help achieve.”
The event has not been held for a long time, but will be an annual event going forward.
Sixteen soccer teams and twelve netball teams showed great promise in their matches but it was the team from Lloyd Primary School who took the soccer trophy and the Hulett Combined School team who won the netball honours.
Syamthanda Ngubane from Dawnview Primary School was the individual soccer player of the tournament while Snothando Mngadi of Tinley Manor Primary School won the individual netball award.
