SOUTHERN CAPE NEWS - The Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport invites members of the sporting fraternity to nominate their local sport stars to be honoured as provincial Sport Legends.

The Legends Awards are hosted annually by the department to honour those who played a role in growing and transforming sport in the province.

To be eligible, nominees should be over the age of 55 and should have played a role in shaping sport in their communities. Nominees are also ideally people who were not previously recognised because of their gender, race or geographical location.

Anroux Marais, Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport, said that this is a very important event that acknowledges the roles of individuals in shaping sport in the province.

“It is very important that we honour our sport legends. They are the ones who laid the foundations for sport in this province and they are role models for our upcoming sport stars.”
