North West MEC for Education, Viola Motsumi received an award for initiating school sports. The award was bestowed to Motsumi during the glitz and glamorous gala dinner ceremony hosted by the South African Football Association (SAFA) in North West at Mmabatho Palms on 28 September 2023.
In her acceptance speech, Motsumi said she acknowledged the work done by all stakeholders to bring the vision to pass.
“I wish to thank all stakeholders and vision bearers who embraced the vision to bring back school sports. We cannot sit and watch our children perish in illegal substances when we can also develop them outside classroom walls by nurturing their talents through school sports.
“As the department, we are open to engaging in further talks with SAFA North West in establishing competitive leagues such as Sasol leagues in schools,” she said.
The gala event was graced by Bafana Bafana coach, Hugo Broos and SAFA North West president, David Molwantwa among others to honour the North West sportsmen and women for their tireless work in contributing to the sports fraternity.
