Speaking to Sedibeng Ster Sport, EFF Emfuleni Sports Convener, Nobayeni Ntombela, hailed the community games as a great success.
She told Sedibeng Ster Sport that the games went as they played with young people showcasing their God-given talent. Ntombela said the community games were part of the organisation to plough back to the community of Emfuleni.
“The purpose of the event was to keep our youth busy during school holidays and away from drugs through sports. We need more outdoor sports facilities in our community. We also encourage youth and parents to participate in sports to maintain a healthy lifestyle,” said Ntombela.
Ntombela also thanked all the people who contributed to the success of the community game. EFF Sedibeng Region Chairperson Isaac Khithika was also in attendance to support this initiative.
