‘The aim of Supersport Let’s Play is to encourage young people to become active and participate in sport.
‘Currently 17% of youth today are overweight, which leads to diseases like diabetes and to inactivity.
‘The program provides an alternative to all the negative issues the children face today.
‘Thank you to the Zululand Observer for partnering up with us and doing all the profiles on our monthly winners,’ said Vencatasamy.
Grantleigh School’s Kelly Ervine ended second, with Mtunzini Primary School’s Emily Cobbold coming third.
