Cultural Activities

We host cultural events annually such as poetry and traditional arts of music and dance. The aim is to keep our youth culturally aware of who they are. We use these activities as both entertainment and as educational tools. We have hosted various spoken word sessions for our aspiring poets. Storytelling and performing arts has also been an integral part of our programme.

 

School Programmes

We have recently established school programmes where Isithumba Sportgarten team visits various schools in the area. At the moment we have 5 schools in our programme. The main idea is to take our sport activities into the schools and assist those schools without capacity to conduct their own extra mural activities.

 

We currently conduct training with Mvini, Ntongela, Ndunakazi, and Noqomfela Primary School. We train pupils in various Isithumba Sportgarten sporting codes apart from mountain biking and canoeing because of lack of time and resources. We host sport competitions and events between the schools. Through this programme we have been able to reach more than 2500 youth in the area. We continue to establish more partnerships with other schools.

 

 

What Drives Us

 

We are an organisation that strives to keep its local roots and provide platform for our rural youth with an opportunity to shape their future. The old age principle of Ubuntu is what drives us. Our passion is to take responsibility of our own economic, cultural and educational development to the next level. We are driven by the desire to instil positive attitude towards life and to keep our peers occupied through involvement in sporting, cultural and educational activities.
