School Sport Mass Participation Programme

Department of Sport and Recreation and Department of Education

The School Sport Mass Participation Programme is a joint venture initiative between the Department of Sport and Recreation and the Department of Education. This initiative by the lead Department of Sport and Recreation stems from the firm belief that schools are the nurseries of the stars of the future, and hence the need to work with the Department of Education within whose jurisdiction appropriate intervention and development must be effected.

The School Sport Mass Participation Programme has commenced in all four Regions within KZN. Both the schools as well as the Department of Education have welcomed the programme. Such appreciation is evident at the equipment handing-over ceremonies where principals, learners and local community placed on record their thanks to the Department for breathing new life into sport at school level. The most disadvantaged schools are amongst the first beneficiaries of this programme and these schools and communities cherish the financial and material support as sporting activities contribute towards the discipline of the youth and thus minimises social ills such as crime, prevention of HIV/AIDS, etc.
