05: The Power of Sports

In light of the Rugby World Cup that started this weekend (goooo
Bokke!... No?) and Heritage Day tomorrow, we've decided to
explore Mandela's legacy of the power of sport to break barriers.
Let us know how you think sport can be used to bring about change
and let us know how individuals and organisations can work
together to use sport to empower! 


"It has the power to change the world. It has the power
to inspire. It has the power to unite people. In a way that
little else does. It speaks to youth i a language they
understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only
despair. It is more powerful than governments. In breaking down
racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of
discrimination. The heroes are standing with me, are examples of
this power. They are valiant, not only in the playing field but
also in the community. Both local and international. They are
champions and they deserve the world's recognition." - Nelson
Mandela
