Sports for Peace (Annual Tournament)

The IFA has reviewed the success of this Summer edition of our Annual Soccer Tournament and has initiated talks for a Peace Tournament which will take place during Winter Vacation and it shall include athletics, football, netball, volley ball and traditional games. We view this tournament as more interactive and will seek to bring about teams that go across gender, age, education, skill, employment and all forms of prejudice ? and simply seek to unite the community through sports.?

Community Building

While we believe in community development, the actualisation of the vision of the IFA seeks to effect a program that facilitates community building. Our vision does not consider members of the community as passive recipients. However, we consider that we shall be partners with our communities in building in the creation or enhancement of community among individuals within our context. We seek to not only develop as a community but we see that this shall be achieved when we develop individuals within our community.?

Our program with the Majuba TVET, and other new partners will be focused at ensuring that the community is aware of the various opportunities that are available for their own development?

and capacity enhancement such that they become productive citizens in our community. During the year, we shall have various roadshows in community and at schools ? making sure that those of our community that seek to add to the livelihood of themselves, their families and the community at large are afforded the opportunities to do so.?

Sports for Unity

Beyond just soccer, IFA seeks to engage various sporting codes to bring together our community in promoting peace and social cohesion. We have currently started with our under 15 league and this year will see the establishment of the Women?s Soccer Cup. We are also in talks with school to start a cricket, rugby and netball league in school.?

IFA is thus seeking various partners to collaborate with in this venture where we believe that sports has the power not only to entertain people but also to act as a catalyst in uniting them.?
