Gauteng set to honour sporting heroes
This year's awards, which will be hosted on Saturday, June 7, at Vodadome in Midrand, will commemorate Gauteng's 20 years of excellence as the leading sporting province, keeping with the "20 years of democracy" theme.
In keeping with the theme, which has seen the nation pause to celebrate the dawn of democracy in South Africa through various activities, this year’s Gauteng Sports Awards will celebrate the province’s contribution towards building South Africa’s social cohesion through sport.
Launched in 2010, the awards recognise and reward the province’s sports stars for their efforts in keeping the passion of sport alive in the hearts of millions of South Africans, through their efforts in local and international sporting events.
To this end, the annual awards, honour individuals and teams that have excelled both on and off the field.
Gauteng is the home to many stadia and sporting grounds that hosted opening and closing ceremonies and kick-off of international games such as the 2010 Fifa World Cup, 2013 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2003 Cricket World Cup.
