The national departments of Arts and
Culture and Sport and Recreation South Africa said they are creating
opportunities for learners at township schools in Cape Town to engage in sport, recreation, arts
and culture activities.
Sport equipment was handed over to
the Walter Teka Primary School and Oscar Mpetha High School in Nyanga on Wednesday. Minister of Sport Fikile Mbalula said assisting
learners to focus on sport, arts and their education will help to reduce crime
in the area.
Ministerial Spokesperson for the MEC
of Cultural Affairs and Sport Daniel Johnson said the handing over of equipment
to the schools is linked to the WC government and the Cultural Affairs and
Sport department belief that engaging in sport will combat social evils faced
by young people.
“We therefore are in full support of
the Nyanga Sport Council who are currently running sport and arts programmes at
these schools.
“We are committed to supporting the Department
in ensuring that children are playing sport” Johnson added.
