SEDIBENG.- With August known as Women’s Month, Zakes’ Sports Corner wants to take this opportunity to pay homage to all women who play a huge role in sports within our community.

These women deserve a pat on the back for a job well done for their contribution to the development of sports in this country.

Zakes’ Sports Corner sees you!

We celebrate you for your outstanding contribution to sports in our community.

We salute you!

Not only those women who are directly involved in sports, but also those who gave birth to athletes and superstars. We salute you because if it weren’t for you, we would not have the opportunity to witness some of these talented athletes in our community. When you carried these athletes for nine months, little did you know that one day they would become household names.

Your contribution to our sports won’t go unnoticed.

You gave the country a talent that went on to conquer the world, and you should be proud of yourself. The truth is that, in most cases, as a nation, we don’t appreciate the women who gave birth to athletes.

However, Zakes’ Sports Corner takes this opportunity to acknowledge those women.

We see them shining in the various sporting activities, but we don’t acknowledge the people who gave birth to them. Zakes’ Sports Corner salutes all the women who gave birth to these athletes – I see you!

Zakes’ Sports Corner dedicates this column to all women for the role they play within our community.

I salute you!
