Graceland hosted the inaugural IFA Cup this past weekend.

The word Ifa is inspired by the Zulu word for Heritage.

In celebration of Heritage Day, Graceland decided to host this event. It is also spring season and it was an excellent opportunity to enjoy the fresh air. The long weekend also contributed to a successful two-day event.

The IFA Cup 2021 started on Friday 24 September and ended the following day.

A total of 80 golfers competed for their share in R50000 worth of prizes. Different formats were played and scores were added. The idea was to have fun.

Golfers were also asked to dress in their best heritage outfits. Prizes were awarded to the best-dressed golfers and the best-dressed teams were:

Kobus & Ella
Pieter de Villiers & Jacques Cloete
Wimpie & Louise
Jacques Siebritz & Jaco Joubert

“This was a very successful event,” said Pieter de Villiers, General manager for Graceland Hotel, Casino & Country Club, “A huge thank you to all the golfers and their families for the support as well as the Graceland team for assisting in making the IFA Cup a great one and we look forward to hosting the IFA Cup again next year.

Winners:

1^st place: Stanley Dodd and Riaan Burger – 98 points

Playing a round of golf at Graceland means playing on the best greens in Mpumalanga!

The upgraded irrigation system has allowed the fairways and tee-boxes to be in top condition and the greens have been hollow tined to maintain the rhythm of play on the course. The bunkers have been restored to the original Gary Player specification, the rough is being cut regularly and the reeds have been removed from the river. The current cart paths have been upgraded and the practice and chipping areas have been rebuilt to tournament standards.

Flat savannahs and highly challenging… the Gary Player designed 18-hole championship golf course at Graceland Hotel, Casino and Country Club makes use of natural features as the front and back nines follow paths along opposite sides of a valley. The course features a mixture of significant elevation changes, water hazards, rolling fairways and a strategically placed bunker.

This Gary Player golf course is a typical inland links course with undulating greens and relatively steep, grass-faced bunkers. Two streams twine through seven of the holes and several dams attract a variety of birdlife.

The signature hole is the par 3, 15th, a short but treacherous hole where only a well-placed tee shot will be rewarded. The green is well guarded with a water hazard short and up the right side of the green, while two well-placed bunkers at the back of the green catch any shot that is even a little bit longer. Crenshaw Bentgrass and Kikuyu provide ideal playing surfaces.

Slope Ratings

As of 3 September 2018, Graceland will be implementing a new handicap index system and a new slope rating from the championship tees is as follows:

Men
Slope rating club tees are 135 rating
Slope rating senior tees are 128 rating
Slope rating ladies tees are 123 rating
There are no more ladies and senior tees
Tees are played on yellow, white, blue or red with the exception of ladies.

Ladies
Blue tees 144
Red tees 138

Slope ratings in South Africa
For those who are not familiar with the concept of the Slope rating system, it is a USGA system that changes the ball game with regards to handicaps. A Slope rating determines the difficulty of a course which differentiates courses a lot better and adjusts your handicap according to each course. The higher the rating, the more difficult the course. The minimum or easiest is 55 and the most difficult or highest is 155.

The Graceland Pro Shop offers a wide range of golfing equipment. Between September and April, it is open daily between 07h00 and 18h00 and between May and August it is open daily between 07h30 and 17h00. For more information, please call 017 620 1188.

“Repentance” by Anton Knoetze

Secunda Reformed Church Morning service 26 September 2021

Luke 3:7-18 – King James Version

⁷Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

⁸Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Also read: Secunda Reformed Church morning service 19 September 2021

⁹And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

¹⁰And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

¹¹He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.

¹²Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?

¹³And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

¹⁴And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

¹⁵And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

¹⁶John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

¹⁷Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

¹⁸And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.

Diesel rebates and social media

Diesel rebates and social media: Recent posts to social media started a string of negative comments.

Should there be cash rebates on Diesel sales? Why are some Sasol Filling Stations apparently offering rebates and others are not? What is the Diesel price supposed to be?

A recent post on the Facebook page “Secunda en sy mense praat saam” started a whole debate on the issue of so-called rebates. This Facebook page is managed by The Bulletin.

Here is the post (translated into English):

“This past Monday I filled with DIESEL at a Sasol Filling Station, Pretoria. After I have paid, the petrol attendant says that I should just wait for my refund and walk away. The driver then walked up with cash and placed it in my hand which I was very surprised about. I ask him about it, and he says it is an initiative of Sasol National to repay customers 30 cents per litre and it has been in force since the beginning of the covid pandemic. Have any of you had the same experience?”

This post caused quite a stir in Govan Mbeki with people complaining about never having received any monies as rebates. Some even want to support the Pretoria Filling Station from now on.

Sasol Diesel Rebate

Here are some of the comments from the Facebook post. (Some quotes are translated from Afrikaans)

Nope, and I only fill with Sasol.
No never received and will not
Someone knows something we did not know. But may the owners of Sasol garages who do give it to the people be an example to those who are greedy for money. Bless them.
At *Filling Station I know you get money back on your *-card, 15c n liter and I already have over R100 on my card wish the others want to do the same
Definitely not, now who takes the money if we do not get it. Someone gets rich.
No, the first time I heard about it, I was already rich.
I think we should all go to Sasol garage to ask the drivers why we do not get the money. We will have to stand together otherwise we will be laughed off
It will also only be on diesel that there is refund, if we are lucky. Petrol’s price has been set and such incentives will never be paid for it, there is legislation against it
This is Secunda here you will not find it. May that owner be blessed …
I already received few Rand back, because the pumps were not adjusted on a Wednesday morning when the price came down, but only 30c per liter. Aikona !! Sad that our loyalty is not also rewarded

What is clear is that most people are uninformed about the Diesel price structures and what it is at the various Filling Stations, not only in Secunda but countrywide.

The Bulletin spoke to several people regarding the rebate.

Louisa Van Niekerk, manager at the Sasol Value Filling Station explained that their prices already include all the rebates and discounts that is possible to pass on to the consumers.

The price at the filling station in question is R17,55 and the price at the Sasol Value Filling Station is R16,37/litre (10ppm). This makes the difference a whopping R1,18 cheaper than the Filling Station in Pretoria.

The Diesel in Secunda also varies quite a bit. The Bulletin visited three other brands to verify their prices on Diesel.

This is what we found (brand names are withheld) at two other filling stations

Filling Station 1: R17,53
Filling Station 2: R16,93

It is clear that the facts were not verified when posting and commenting on the Facebook page.

It is easy to post to Facebook and other social media pages about experiences, but one has to consider all the facts first. What would the effects be of the uninformed posts to social media? What effect would this have on businesses and people’s perception of those businesses?

Please ensure that one has all sides of the story before posting. This applies to fake news as well.

Here are some tips to save fuel:

Close the car windows when driving. An open window creates a drag that increases fuel consumption by as much as 20 percent. For a person who spends R100 a week on petrol, a 20 percent saving could mean saving R20 a week, which adds up to R80 a month;
Use multigrade oil in your engine because it reduces drag;
Service your car regularly;
Use a logbook to record your fuel purchases and kilometre travelled to set new economic goals and to spot radical differences in the performance of your vehicle due to mechanical malfunction;
Establish lift clubs;
Switch to radial-ply tyres because they offer less rolling resistance and longer life than the cross-ply variety;
Avoid driving with under-inflated tyres because a tyre pressure that is too low not only increases consumption, but also markedly reduces a tyre’s life;
Avoid stop-start driving;
Accelerate slowly; and
Do not speed, the faster you drive the more petrol you use.

ANIMALS 101 – HUMANE ANIMAL CONTROL

ANIMALS 101 – NO ANIMAL SHOULD SUFFER, NO MATTER HOW YOU THINK OF THEM.

Since I have been involved in animal welfare, I can’t even kill an ant without thinking twice. In animal welfare, well at least the majority of us, care about ALL animals. They are sentient beings who can feel pain and suffer and none of them should have to. Today we will focus on rat and mice control and what to do when they become a concern.

When temperatures start to get cooler in winter times, animals will seek shelter in non-ideal locations. We understand that some people don’t want animals like mice, rats, snakes or lizards in their homes, for various reasons, however, please NEVER use sticky traps or rodenticides! They are inhumane and the animal suffers a slow and painful death. Instead use live traps, ultrasonic repellents or unpleasant scents.

We understand that in some cases rat or mouse populations might get out of hand, but then it is important to consult with your local animal welfare or humane societies, SPCA, NSPCA or humane pest control companies. Understanding your options and the level of risk and safety involved with pest control is the first step to finding a rodent control option that is best for your needs, humane and best for the environment at large.

There is no such thing as “animal-friendly” poison. POISON IS POISON. It is designed to kill! Death by poisoning is arguably one of the cruellest and inhumane ways to kill any animal, whether you think of them as a sentient being or a pest. A poisoning incident is a crime and should always be reported at your local police station and the SPCA should be informed.

Also read: ANIMALS 101 – PETS AS GIFTS

When we talk about pest control you should first ask these questions:

Which specie of rat or rodent it is as the approach for control might differ?
How many is many?
Is it the odd mouse here or there or massive colonies?
Are they causing damage or a problem or do you just not like them?
Why are they there?
What will the impact of removal have on the environment?
Does the methods used pose a risk for other animals or kids etc.?

METHODS USED

Methods, where they are killed instantly and humanely, are recommended with large scale rodent problems. Glue traps, blunt force trauma and poison are certainly not the way! The problem with snap traps is, that many choose cheap traps that are not well designed. This leads to suffering. Some choose shooting, but for that, you will need a permit and it may not be in residential areas.

Rodenticides – A second generation of ultra-potent rodenticides creates a first-class crisis for people, pets, and wildlife. With rodenticides, it is an agonizing death for the victim and when other animals eat these dead rodents they can die too. For a rodent to get a lethal dose from a first-generation rodenticide it has to eat it more than once.

KILLING IS ONLY A SHORT-TERM SOLUTION

Killing rodents can only provide short-term control of populations. As with feral cats, if you remove a mouse/rat colony you will create what is known as a vacuum effect. This means a new colony will move in or the remaining animals will breed to capacity. Feral cats and rodent colonies form around food sources. Keep in mind, the need to control rats is largely the result of a lack of cleanliness in the immediate environment.

Sustainable control can only be achieved by reducing the rodent carrying capacity of the environment and one way is by reducing food and harbourage.

SOME OTHER OPTIONS:

Rat-proofing a building is the only sure way to deter rats. Killing them will only cause other rats to move into the newly available spaces.
After rat-proofing your building, give the remaining animals a chance at life by live-trapping and releasing them outdoors. There are guidelines for where, how far etc.
Using domestic or natural predators. If these predators are brought in you need to do it with environmental expert as it can lead to other problems. Owls and snakes are some of the most common natural predators. Foxes eat rats too.
Support Feral/community cat projects where the cats are trapped, neutered and returned. They help a lot with rodents control.
If you aren’t a fan of having cats or owls living with you, we recommend pranking the rats. Using cat litter, rubber snakes or owl feathers can work well. Therefore, tricking the rat into thinking that a cat or owl lives on your premises will scare the rat into possibly making a quick exit. Additionally, farmers and homeowners suggest placing tubs of used cat litter near entry points in your home. The smell will deter the rat.
Peppermint Oil, Steel Wool, Rodent Repellent sprays, Irish Spring bars cut up, Rolling Log Mouse Traps (no water), Catch & Release Mouse Traps can also be considered.

It doesn’t matter what the problem is, no animal should endure suffering, ever! If you have any “pests” please contact your nearest SPCA to ask what is the best way to address the issue safely!

GoedgeKeur – Is jou skool?

Laerskool Goedehoop is GoedgeKeur!

Is u skool GoedgeKeur? Wanneer ‘n ouer op soek is na ‘n skool, is daar verskeie aspekte waarna gekyk moet word. Daar is soveel vrae waarop antwoorde gesoek word en ouers is altyd bekommerd of die regte besluite rondom hul kinders se opvoeding geneem word. Kom ons identifiseer van hierdie aspekte en voorsien die antwoorde op hierdie belangrike besluite. Wat is by jou skool GoedgeKeur?

Wat wil jy met skoolvoorbereiding bereik?

Jy wil seker maak jou kind voel positief oor skool en daarna uitsien om skool toe te gaan, dat kleinding inpas by die ander maats en goed met die juffrou oor die weg kom. Om genoegsame selfvertroue te hê om roetinebedrywighede te hanteer en emosioneel en prakties onafhanklik en sonder hulp self reg te kom en hul volle potensiaal te bereik.

Is my kind veilig by die skool?

Kinders is ouers se kosbaarste besitting. By Laerskool Goedehoop is die skoolgronde omhein en toegangsbeheer gedurende skooltyd word toegepas deur slegs by een hek toegang tot die gronde te verkry, alle ander hekke is gedurende skoolure gesluit. Sekuriteitskamera’s is op strategiese plekke aangebring om kleinding se veiligheid te verseker.

Hoe help die skool om my kind se selfbeeld te bou?

Elke kind het twee basiese emosionele behoeftes: “iemand het my lief” en “ek is waardevol”. Wanneer hierdie aspekte aangespreek word, dryf dit u kind om sy volle potensiaal te bereik. Ons poog om deur positiewe optrede, ‘n kompliment per dag en ‘n positiewe dissiplinêre stelsel vir u kind die geleenthede te bied om geliefd en waardevol te voel.

goedgekeur — **Laerskool Goedehoop…..die skool wat REGTIG omgee!**

Sal die onderwyser help om my kind se volle potensiaal te ontgin?

Die hoogste prioriteit in u kind se skoolloopbaan is akademie. Navorsing het getoon dat ‘n kind wat kan lees ‘n kind is wat kan leer. Daarom word lees baie belangrik beskou en word daar weekliks ‘n periode vir lees ingeruim in die rekenaarsentrum. Goedehoop beskik oor twee Leeslaboratoriums (Afrikaans en Engels) waar u kind se vaardighede ten opsigte van lees gemeet, getoets en ontwikkel word.

Goedehoop se onderwysers is ten volle gekwalifiseerd om u kind in die betrokke vak of graad te onderrig. Indien u kind akademies nie na verwagting presteer nie word daar hulp aangebied in die vorm van remediërende onderrig wat weekliks plaasvind vir ‘n tydperk van ses maande. U as ouer word op hoogte gehou rondom die vordering van u kind deur oueraande of persoonlike gesprekke met die onderwyser(s). Indien daar ernstiger uitvalle is, word u as ouer geken en saam word ‘n plan van aksie bepaal en die regte verwysing na terapeute gemaak.

Hoe vergelyk die skool se akademiese standaarde?

Die media berig gereeld oor die swak akademiese standaarde in ons skole. In die verlede was standaarde deur inspekteurs bepaal, dit bestaan egter nie meer nie. Skole moet nou soekend wees na eksterne maatstawe om akademiese standaarde te meet. Goedehoop het so ‘n instansie geïdentifiseer en is alreeds vir 19 jaar ‘n top akademiese skool in Suid-Afrika! Conquesta is ‘n nasionale instansie wat deur objektiewe, eksterne eksamens die akademiese standaarde van Graad 1 tot Graad 7 in sekere vakke bepaal. Daar is tans 1 200 deelnemende laerskole in Suid-Afrika (Privaat en Ou Model C-skole) wat hulle akademiese standaarde meet teenoor ander skole.

Vir meer inligting besoek gerus ons webblad by www.laerskoolgoedehoop.co.za.

Watter geleenthede is daar vir my kind?

Goedehoop moedig massa-deelname aan by alle Mini-Sporte soos bv. Mini-Netbal, Pumaki’s en Mini-Hokkie. Deur massa deelname skep ons vir elke kind die geleentheid om optimaal te ontwikkel in die betrokke aktiwiteit. Die spanne word eweredig verdeel waar die maatjie wat nog ontwikkeling nodig het, saam met balvaardige maatjies in ‘n span speel sodat elke maatjie sy of haar volle potensiaal kan bereik. Voorsiening word gemaak vir maksimum aantal spanne sodat alle maatjies in ‘n span opgeneem kan word.

Geen maatjie wat aan ‘n aktiwiteit wil deelneem word weggewys nie. Vanaf o/9 tot o/13 kan ons vir u kind ook meer geleenthede op die sportveld bied, omdat ons dubbeld die aantal spanne het. Dit gee vir leerlinge wat nie in die A-spanne kan speel nie ook die geleentheid om in die B- of C-spanne te kan meeding. Ons rugby spog selfs met ‘n 3de span.

Lees ook: GOEDEHOOP MPUMALANGA-KAMPIOENE

Op kultuurvlak is daar net soveel geleenthede! Twee-jaarliks word ‘n revue op die planke gebring en massa-deelname word verseker. In die jaar wat daar nie revue is nie, word Eisteddfod aangebied en kinders word aangemoedig om deel te neem. Graad 0-maatjies kan elke tweede Woensdag Landsdiens gaan doen. Addisionele Rekenaarklasse is ook na skool beskikbaar vir Graad 0. Van Graad 1 kan ons maats ook deelneem aan Algemene Kennis en Redenaarskompetisies. Ons trots is ons junior en senior skoolkore.

Ons neem reeds vir meer as 10 jaar op sport- en kultuurvlak aan Super 12 deel. Wat is Super 12? Dit is ‘n organisasie wat bestaan uit 24 skole wat in twee bene (Been A & B) verdeel is. Die A-been bestaan uit skole wat 1200 leerders en meer het. Die B-been bestaan uit die kleiner skole. Die provinsies wat deelneem is Gauteng, Noordwes, Limpopo en Mpumalanga. Super 12 is interprovinsiaal en slegs vier top laerskole uit die vier noordelike provinsies kan deel vorm van Super 12. Hoe word ek deel van Super 12? Jy word nie genooi of gekies nie. Jy moet ‘n bestaande Super 12 skool uitdaag en deur te wen, kan jy vir jou skool ‘n plek verseker.

In ‘n omgewing waar tegnologie ons brood en botter is, is ‘n program soos Young Engineers van onskatbare waarde! Hierdie program gee die kinders van so jonk as Graad 00 die geleentheid om die vaardigheid van wetenskap, tegnologie, ingeneurswese en wiskunde te bemeester. Die program begin met die basiese boublokke in Graad 00 en vat dit deur na Graad 7 waar die kinders leer hoe om programering te doen.

Raak deel van die Goedehoop-familie op Facebook: Goegieland en Laerskool Goedehoop!

Gaan my kind wegraak in die massas?

Die mite bestaan dat Goedehoop ‘n “groot” skool is. Ons kan spog met ons pragtige prestasies op alle vlakke omdat Laerskool Goedehoop beskik van gekwalifiseerde onderwysers asook voltydse onderwysstudente wat ons in die posisie plaas om opvoedkundig verantwoordbare klein klassies daar stel. Kleiner klasse gee vir u kind die geleentheid om een tot een aandag van die onderwyser te ontvang. Kleiner klasse stel die onderwyser in staat om u kind persoonlik te leer ken en die beste onderrig te bied sodat hy optimaal kan ontwikkel.

Het u Goedehoop Goedgekeur? Volg gerus die skakel vir u betrokke Graad om in te skryf en deel te word van die beste goedgekeurde skool!

“Good works and Gratitude” By Anton Knoetze

Secunda Reformed Church morning service 29 September

Luke 7:36-50 – King James Version

³⁶And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.

³⁷And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

Also read: Secunda Reformed Church morning service 12 September 2021

³⁸And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

³⁹Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

⁴⁰And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

⁴¹There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

⁴²And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

⁴³Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

⁴⁴And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

⁴⁵Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

⁴⁶My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.

⁴⁷Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

⁴⁸And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

⁴⁹And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

⁵⁰And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

2 van Laerskool Marietjie van Niekerk se onderwysers blink uit in hulle verskeie sport soorte

Marili Jansen van Rensburg en Jean Vos is twee jong onderwysers van Laerskool Marietjie van Niekerk wat hulle sport uitleef.

Marili gaan na Camp Discovery om deel te neem aan die University Sports South Africa (USSA) se netbal toernooi. Sy gaan egter nie speel nie maar gaan as skeidsregter.

Marili Jansen van Rensburg en Jean Vos het met die Bulletin gesêls

Tydens die toernooi gaan sy gegradeer word om nationale spanne te kan beheer. Sy sal tydens die wedstryde beoordeel word en dan aan die einde ‘n gradeering toegeken word.

Lees hier onder meer oor USSA

Jean Vos het in Augustus aan die SA Blackball Federation se Nationale kompetisie deelgeneem. Hy het deel van die Mpumalanga O/23 span deel geneem. Hy het as Span Kaptein asook Span Bestuurder diens gedoen.

Jean is al deel van die Mpumalanga O/23 span vandat hy 16 jaar oud is.

Die kompetisie het in Rivonia plaasgevind.

Jean het self baie goed gedoen in die kompetisie en die Mpumalanga O/23 span het in die finaal teen Gauteng vasgeval. Hulle het ‘n silver medalje verower. Dit was die eerste keer dat die O/23 span in ‘n finaal gespeel het.

WHAT IS USSA?

The Ministry of Sport & Recreation South Africa (SRSA) and the South African Sport Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) agreed that, due to the unique nature of student sport universally, University Sport South Africa (USSA) should be administered independently.
Constituted on 16 April 1994, USSA is considered the official unified national umbrella sports structure for the regulation, organization and coordination of student sports activities at regional, provincial and national levels in the tertiary education sector of South Africa.
USSA was founded within the tertiary education sector in order to represent and protect the sporting interests of all students at member institutions based on the principles of unity, accountability, non-racialism, non-sexism and democracy.
USSA’s core business is to maximize student participation and encourage sporting practice in harmony with and complementary to the academic character and values of tertiary education institutions.
USSA’s programmes are structured in such a way to facilitate and improve opportunities for all students to acquire the necessary sporting skills to compete at all levels.
USSA’s membership is open to all SAQA (South African Qualifications Authority) accredited institutions of higher education (universities and colleges).

THE UNIVERSAL SPIRIT OF STUDENT SPORT

Participation in sport and other recreational activities are considered important facets in the unity and holistic education process of students. To promote sporting values, means encouraging friendship, fair-play and co-operation among students who will one day occupy responsible key positions in education, politics, industry, economy and culture. It also means giving a new dimension to the student spirit of study and research in that individuals are given the opportunity to develop not just intellectually, but also morally and physically.

University Sport activities provides the opportunity for youth leaders of the future to meet and to foster lasting friendships which contributes to the development of a unified nation. Sport is considered an ideal vehicle for promoting mutual understanding amongst people with different cultures and histories. Students learn to respect each other through the common international language of sport.
