“We, through these awards, salute our women and girls for their endless, selfless and dedicated will to change the mindset of our community and South Africans at large, ensuring social inclusion and social integration, stability, progress, and long-term development of our nation, through sport. We are grateful for their commitment, said Winston Meyer, President of the Tshwane Sports Confederation.
