If we can ensure sport is enjoyed by all, then the politicians and administrators will have fulfilled their sporting purpose

In the same vein, community sport drives gender equality and social cohesion. School and club sport produces constantly swirling conversations between fans, parents and players. This leads to a greater mutual understanding, so absent in SA. Sport is central to the required change in SA. Let me illustrate that by highlighting last weekend’s activities involving just one township in the Western Cape South Peninsula, Masiphumelele. It mirrors what is happening throughout the country.
• Fish Hoek Cricket Club on Friday afternoon held their weekly youth cricket clinic, coaching 35 kids from the surrounding townships and residential areas. Ten young cricketers, boys and girls, from Masiphumelele were chosen to play for the FHCC second team and in the under-10 and under-11 sides. • Many young cyclists from the valley, including seven young riders from the Masiphumelele schools, received their medals for completing the CTCT.These events enrich social cohesion and create gender and racial equality through spontaneous engagement across the nation. This is just one weekend in a small part of SA.
