The awards recognise sporting excellence in the region and allow the metro to reward those who represent Ekurhuleni nationally, as amateur or professional sportsmen and women.
The fourth instalment of the Ekurhuleni Sports Awards will see individual champions and those who belong to local sports associations and clubs walking away with the most coveted sporting awards.
