The Western Cape government on Wednesday launched the Mass participation, opportunity and access development growth programme in Manenberg. 

The MOD is a comprehensive package of after-school sports and arts activities. 

Six schools have been identified and each of the six schools will be assigned at least two sport coaches who will manage and implement the programme in the coming weeks. 

Ministerial Spokesperson Daniel Johnson said the MOD will provide learners with a safe place to participate in sport and culture activities as well as a place to study between two and six in the evening.

“Each of the six schools will be assigned al least two coaches who will manage and implement the programme.  Most importantly they will provide the learners with the sense of purpose and belonging and will assist in keeping them off the streets and away from gangs, drugs and alcohol,” Johnson added.
