Over 600 people gathered at the Mehlareng Stadium, in Tembisa, to enjoy the fun and games, which are presented in a lightly competitive environment with the aim of promoting self-acceptance and holistic wellness among people living with disabilities.
All those who took part in the games received gold medals for participation.
Some will be selected to form a team to represent Ekurhuleni at the Provincial Games, at the Charl Baard Stadium, in Brakpan, on November 21.
November 3 to December 3 is marked as National Disability Rights Awareness Month.
