PHINDILE GWEDLE: Sports get the youth to stay away from things that would damage them like drugs and things that are negative. Sports are something to entertain them positively.

The weather is warming up and more sporting events and activities are being planned for people to keep fit and active.
Fourways community members gave their views on why it was important for the youth to get involved in playing sports from a young age.

This is what they had to say…

ZINHLE MBGABHI: It builds up their confidence and prevents young people from doing all the things that aren’t recreational, like drugs and getting into the wrong crowd. With sports, they live a healthy life.
GRACE NYEMBE: I’m involved with the police so fitness is important. You chase people who are very fit…These sports activities must be done on a daily basis to keep healthy.
NTSAKO BALOYI: Nowadays with the current generation, there are lots of illnesses and children being couch potatoes because they don’t want to move around. It’s important to encourage exercise and playing sports.
