Having seen and experienced first hand the influence and affect sport has on shaping not just the life but the individual themselves . It is unfathomable that in 2022 we still have schools and children in their developmental ages of life not having any access to any sporting , programs , teams and opportunities. It is with this realization in mind that we decided to establish an entity that will look to bridge that gap and bring about quality and uniformed coaching structures and programs that will be of benefit to the individual not just physically but shape them holistically on and off the field.

Children in underprivileged communities don’t have access to consistent sporting structures. Love Sport Africa was created to provide children with the opportunity to play and enjoy sports in their schools and communities. Sport is a vehicle that can take you to unimaginable places. Sport taught me valuable life lessons that individuals within these communities could benefit from when implemented and executed throughly.

Sport has changed my life a lot. It has given me the opportunity to be confident in big areas, it has open a lot of doors for me – with traveling around the world, to being on tv, newspapers, magazines etc, something I had never imagined! It has given me an opportunity to grow individual in areas that needed the most growth. It has paved the way to help ease financial burdens, & has also kept me out of trouble in the environment I grew up in. This is why I am part of LSA, to give the less privileged the opportunities I’ve been granted and more!!

My love and passion for sport is limitless. There is so much good in my life and as such, I simply credit that to sport and everything it has given me such as lifelong relationships, opportunities to travel and visit places I would not have if not for sport and an opportunity to study. In that light, I want to use sport as the vehicle to pay my good fortune forward in any capacity that enables me to serve. That is why I am part of Love Sport Africa.
