They are there 24/7, but women are still unheralded in SA sport
They add value to our lives at home and work. They are admired for their strength of character, commitment, caring, perseverance, courage and love.They are wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers and many more things if we were to itemise what they do every day.
Is it because there are more men in sport governance structures, coaching, management and participation that the numbers are always stacked against them? The SA Mint, which produces coins for the SA Reserve Bank, has Honey Mamabolo as its managing director – and this is just one example. In the middle of this lack of progress in ensuring real gender equality in South African institutions, in came the SA Women and Sport Foundation.
Therefore, the programmes and activities of the foundation have deliberately focused on education and training; research on women’s sport issues; advocacy ; mobilisation of women to stand united as they strive for representation in sport governance, coaching, leadership, management and physical participation; international cooperation; and mentoring.
