United Through Sport, South Africa
Since the end of apartheid, sportsmen and women have made great strides
in the international arena. Yet while so much has been made of this success,
the biggest change has been at home. For years, only white players and
the sports in which they participated received the necessary money and
facilities for development.
The vast majority of South Africans were given little opportunity to
make an impact on the sporting scene. Through intensive development programmes
in the townships, international stars have been discovered and are now
showering South Africa in glory.
New generation of South African Sportsmen
This rising generation of black sportsmen will add a new and powerful dimension to South African sport in years
to come.
