Executive Mayors Speech at the Opening of the Easter Tournament on 27 April 2023

Molweni, Good morning, Goeie more

Sports have always been regarded as a means of unifying all South Africans. We first saw how unifying sports can be in 1995 with the Rugby World Cup in South Africa, when Madiba walked out on the field in the Number 6 jersey of the Springbok Captain, François Pienaar.

The crowd at the stadium and most of the South Africans watching at other venues went wild as one nation.

It is fitting that what is usually the Bitou Easter Games is starting two weeks later than usual, today on Freedom Day.
