With the National Indigenous Games beckoning in September, the Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation hosted its Provincial Indigenous games on Saturday, 04 August 2018 at UJ (University of Johannesburg) – AW Muller Stadium, Bunting Road Campus, Johannesburg, to select a team to represent Team Gauteng in Limpopo. 160 top achievers were selected to be part of Team Gauteng.  Participants competed in activities including kgati (skipping), dibeke, morabaraba, ncuva, morula, juskei, intonga (stick fighting), diketo and khokho. I'm glad that we have chosen a talented team that will represented Gauteng in the upcoming National Indigenous Games. The outstanding achievers in this Provincial Games will go to the National Games and prove that Gauteng is truly the ‘Home of Champions' and sporting excellence. We wish the rest of the team including coaches, managers and the officials the best of luck and please make sure that you bring back the trophy to Gauteng,” says Gauteng for Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation, Faith Mazibuko.  The national games form part of heritage celebrations in September as it is a heritage month. They are also aimed at cultivating and promoting cultural and recreational activities that for decades were the practice of many communities with no or limited resources.
