Sedibeng Netball Federation hosts Sports Against substances Abuse Awareness

SEBOKENG.- The Sedibeng Netball Federations hosted a successful Sports Against Substances Abuse Awareness Campaign at Saul Tsotetsi Sports Complex in Sebokeng recently.

Speaking to Sedibeng Ster Sport, the Sedibeng Netball Federation Public Relation Officer, Ntombifuthi Khambule said that it came to their attention that recently young people engage in illegal activities, such as drugs. She told Sedibeng Ster Sport that most of the young people are involved in drugs instead of participating in sports. She believes that this initiative was a great success with parents also contributing to the success of the day.

Khambule said apart from Sports Against Substances Abuse, the main aim of the event was also to raise funds for the Sedibeng Netball Regional Squads when they go to compete at the annual National Netball Championship held in Cape Town every year.

She was full of compliments for the parents for their contribution to make this event a success by contributing certain amount of money for the players to register. “I want to thank our sponsors because if it wasn’t for them, I don’t think this event could have been successful. We thank the Gauteng Department Of Sports and Recreation, Build It, SAPS, Community Safety under the leadership of Buti Kele, Futballing Girls, Ceramic Industry for their envelopment to ensure the event went well very well.

Everything went as we planned and thanks to those coaches who worked hard with these players to ensure that Sedibeng Netball Federation has the best talent. I have no doubt that we will have the best team as always that will represent this region in the next National Netball Champions,” she said.

In conclusion, Khambule also made a plea to the community to encourage their children to participate in sports because she believes that sports will save them from a lot of trouble such as crime and drugs.
