The Sports Trust was established in 1994 after discussions and recommendations with Tata Madiba and late Minister of Sport, Mr Steve Tshwete, to incorporate sport as a vehicle to help bring about positive change and social cohesion in a country desperately in need of healing and stability. The Trust was formed with its Vision and Mandate to provide sporting infrastructure, kit and equipment and programmes aimed at developing the young people of South Africa. This positive influence will help to provide hope, inspiration, opportunities and platforms for them to advance their sporting ambitions and dreams.
We understood that sport development and providing sustainable programmes needed to be our contribution towards building a new and prosperous country with equal opportunities for all its citizens, both abled and disabled. It further cemented our commitment as a contributor towards the constitutional change objectives and to be a catalyst for transformation in sport, on this journey of renewal for our rainbow nation.
The financial support from our donors and funders, such as our long standing Trustees, ensure that schools and communities in rural areas and those in need, benefit from these investments, for the betterment of all, through sport. This is further supported by our slogan of “Enhancing Education through Sport”.
We believe that by partnering with all our stakeholders it’s possible to deliver on our Mandate of sustainability, as a priority, to ensure tangible results and outcomes, and providing an opportunity for all South Africans to participate in sport.
